West-Central Florida Coastal Studies Project
The major goals were to better understand the recent geologic history of the West-Central Florida barrier island system and its natural variability, seafloor bathymetry, surface sediment distribution, and subsurface stratigraphy of the West-Central Florida coastal system. Understanding water circulation and its interaction with the coastal inner shelf system was an additional goal of the study. A complete description of the findings which arose from this study are detailed in USGS Open-File Report 2001-303 ... [Read More]
East Central Florida Rip Current Program
Data collected along the east central Florida coast shows that an average of 4-5 rip current-related drownings occur each year. Therefore, an empirical forecasting scheme was developed by the Melbourne office to warn beach goers when rip currents would be more dangerous than normal. Data was compiled from lifeguard rescue logs in the east central Florida coastal counties of Volusia, Brevard, Indian River, St. Lucie, and Martin. ... The remaining coastal counties of east central Florida have significantly less rip current rescues than Volusia county. However, there are an increasing number of people visiting the beaches of these counties, many of whom do not understand the danger of rip currents and attempt to swim where there are no lifeguards. Additionally, many local communities have plans for substantial beach replenishment where erosion has depleted beaches significantly in the past several decades. This will likely increase the formation of sand bars that help generate dangerous rip currents. ... [Read More]
