Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the historical construction of the Channel Islands Harbor in California and its impact on the movement of sand along the coast. A sand trap was installed to prevent sediment buildup at the harbor entrance, trapping millions of cubic meters of sand over its lifetime. The author analyzes the characteristics and patterns of the trapped sand, comparing it to natural beach sediment to assess the effectiveness of the trap and its implications for beach nourishment projects. The book explores the complex interplay between coastal engineering structures and natural processes, offering valuable insights into the challenges of maintaining healthy and resilient coastal environments.
