The Jacksonville District (SAJ) was directed to conduct a regional sediment study of a section of the Sarasota County, Florida Gulf Coast shoreline that encompasses New Pass and Big Sarasota Pass and the adjacent beaches to develop an in-depth understanding of wave-forced and tidally-forced sediment transport processes and to configure an analytical model of the two-inlet system that includes regional sediment sources, sinks, and pathways that could be used for evaluating engineering and management alternatives. This effort was funded by the RSM program and was intended to evaluate borrow area alternatives at Big Sarasota Pass. CMS was successfully run there for several alternatives.
