Title: Tidal Inlet Protection Strategies for Oil-Spill Response

Description:

Abstract:

This includes potential protection strategies for 84 tidal inlets in USCG Sectors Jacksonville, Miami, Key West, and St. Petersburg. The proposed strategies emphasize flood-tidal conditions, because the basic assumption is that the strategy be designed to deal with spilled oil coming to the inlet from the open ocean. These proposed potential strategies are based on the information at hand on waves and tidal currents. Where such data are missing, inferences based on the geomorphology were used.

Purpose:

The goal of this project is to present potential protection strategies (in the event of a large oil spill) for each major tidal inlet that occurs along the shores of USCG Sectors Jacksonville, Miami, Key West, and St. Petersburg. This update relied on in-house study of much-improved vertical imagery (Microsoft Bing, Google Earth, etc.), as well as an abundance of oblique aerial photos (Microsoft Bing Pictometry, Google Street View, etc.).

Use_Constraints:

These proposed protection strategies are based on our best professional judgment of what would work under average wave and tide conditions. The diagrams that accompany the proposed protection strategies are schematic representations of boom placement, collection points, anchor points, and skimmer locations. The symbols used to depict boom configurations and lengths are not necessarily shown to true scale. The actual length of boom segments will be determined by local conditions at the time of the spill. The proposed strategies should not be interpreted as the only workable protection scheme. Each spill will be time, place, and circumstance specific. Therefore, the strategy finally used to protect the inlet will have to be chosen at the time of the spill.
