Using a new software tool developed for AMBUR (Analysis of Moving Boundaries Using R; Jackson et al., 2012) during projects funded by ‘Georgia Department of Natural Resources’ Coastal Resources Division (2018-2019 “Phase I” & 2019-2020 “Phase II”), the PI (Jackson) (collaborating with Dr. Clark Alexander at University of Georgia’s Skidaway Institute of Oceanography (UGA-SkIO) who will have his contract with DNR) will develop fetch data for Georgia’s tier 1 coastal counties, thereby producing the quantitative data we need to assist with assessing the potential impacts of wind/wave energy on the shoreline. Furthermore, datasets generated during Phase III will compare existing shoreline change data and fetch data from Phase II to determine possible linkages with erosion rates, shoreline type/morphology/composition, and other physical parameters for the estuarine area of Georgia. Fetch data will complement other existing critical coastal datasets such as shoreline characterization (vegetation and bank height), presence or absence of natural buffers, water depth (bathymetry), and proximity of coastal development to the shoreline (land use) critical for shoreline management. Ultimately, tools and datasets developed during these phases will assist with evaluating sites for various shoreline management needs, such as identifying drivers of erosion and locations suitable for potential restoration. Currently, fetch is not a consideration in the siting of living shoreline projects but can be a critical factor in recommending nature-based infrastructure. |
