1 DUNE MANAGEMENT PLANS FOR LOCAL COMMUNITIES Nicole Elko, Ph.D. February 13, 2014 DUNES 101: COASTAL RESILIENCE

2 OUTLINE What was dune restoration? Hurricane Sandy Why restore dunes? Who is restoring dunes? How (not) to restore dunes? Design considerations Local management plans Summary

3 Pinellas County: Sand Key, FL

4 DELRAY BEACH, FL 1973 Initial Nourishment Local dune restoration

5 WHAT WAS DUNE RESTORATION? Dunes often not part of older federal projects Small investment by local sponsors Effective on beaches w/ low long-term erosion rates

6 SANDY Thank you Tom Campbell

7 DUNE RESTORATION = LEGAL TAKING

8 DUNES IN OCEAN CITY, NJ 8 Thank you Tom Campbell

9

10 WHY RESTORE DUNES?

11 WHO IS RESTORING DUNES?

12 WHO SUPPORTS DUNE RESTORATION? Orrin H. Pilkey Supports dune restoration

13 WHO IS RESTORING DUNES? Without Dune With Dune Fire Island to Shores Westerly, NY West of Shinnecock Inlet, NY Rockaway, NY Westhampton, NY Coney Island, NY* Barnegat Inlet to Little Egg Inlet, NJ Keansburg, NJ* Brignatine Island, NJ Sea Bright to Manasquan, NJ Absecon Island, NJ Ocean City, NJ Townsends Inlet to Cape May Inlet, NJ Cape May City, NJ Indian River Inlet Bypass, DE Lower Cape May Meadows to Cape May Pt, NJ Rehoboth Beach to Dewey Beach, DE Bethany to South Bethany, DE Fenwick Island, DE Roosevelt Inlet to Lewes Beach, DE 8 11 Thank you Don Cresitello

14 WHO IS RESTORING DUNES? Edisto Beach Feasibility Study (2018)

15

16 DUNE DESIGN GUIDANCE CEM (2008) Part V, Ch. 4, Beach Fill Design EM (1995) Placement of fill Artificial sand dunes Technical Report CERC 87-8 Birkemeier et. al Shore Protection Manual Ch. 6, Structural Features

17 DUNE DESIGN GUIDANCE Optimization Alternatives Storm erosion modelling Beach-fx CEM, Part V, Ch. 4, Beach Fill Design

18 DUNES 101 Features of the wind Stable only in areas that aren t regularly reworked by waves. Not necessarily vast reservoirs of sand Vol dune < Vol berm NOT effective protection from long-term erosion

19 TO RESTORE DUNES? DANGER BEACH EROSION Photo by Doug Mann

20 HOW (NOT TO) RESTORE DUNES Improperly placed vegetation

21 DUNE PLANNING Pre-nourishment eroded Berm crest

22 (Rogers & Nash, 2003) DUNE RESTORATION DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS If restored dune erodes: Beach habitat reduced Recreational space reduced Public perception Dunes do not stop long-term erosion

23 LOCAL DUNE MANAGEMENT PLANS Limit dune erosion In long-term stable location Provide sufficient beach space

24 BALANCE STORM PROTECTION & ACCESS

25 APPROPRIATE DUNE WALKOVER If pedestrian traffic > sediment supply

26 MINIMALIST APPROACH TO ACCESS Thank you Rommel B. Tamayo Maintenance issues Storm projectiles Human convenience

27 RESTORE CONTINUOUS DUNE SYSTEM This Not This No perpendicular paths! Khalil, S.M., The Use of Sand Fences in Barrier Island Restoration, Experience on the Louisiana Coast. ERDC TN-SWWRP-08-4, 22p. 27

28 LOCAL DUNE MANAGEMENT PLANS Limit dune erosion In long-term stable location Provide sufficient beach space Balance storm protection & access Continuity Limit walkovers

29 REDUCE AEOLIAN SAND LOSS Ideally, install vegetation or fence soon after nourishment

30 LOCAL DUNE MANAGEMENT PLANS Limit dune erosion In long-term stable location Provide sufficient beach space Balance storm protection & access Continuity Limit walkovers Stabilize ASAP after nourishment

31 RE-ESTABLISH DUNE ECOSYSTEM

32 LOCAL DUNE MANAGEMENT PLANS Limit dune erosion In long-term stable location Provide sufficient beach space Balance storm protection & access Continuity Limit walkovers Stabilize ASAP after nourishment Re-establish natural dune ecosystem

33 SUMMARY Dune restoration Afterthought to national headlines National: Partnering opportunity FEMA Engineered or Nature-based features? Limited design guidance Local: Dune Management Plans Limit dune erosion Balance storm protection & access Restore ecosystem
