Littoral Environmental Observations Underway

Two of the Littoral Society's veteran interns were trained by Steven Hafner of Stockton University's Coastal Research Center conduct Littoral Environmental Observations (LEO), a program developed by the US Army Corps of Engineers to understand waves, currents, and beach characteristics. Veterans Nate and Bill are well underway taking these measurements daily for a 20-day interval along 10 Delaware Bay beaches. The data they gather will help inform a sediment transport study being conducted for the Bay. This study, when completed, should help us identify where sand moves within the complex beach systems.
