Table 6A. Mean dry beach widths and total widths for overall bay. Key: sw = seawall; du = dune; du+sw = dune and seawall; sw+du = seawall and dune.
Overall Bay - mean values (ft) | ||||
Characteristic | sw | sw+du | du+sw | du |
Dry Beach Width | 69 | 92 | 103 | 56 |
Total Width | 97 | 180 | 201 | 232 |
Table 6B. Mean dry beach widths and total widths for each region. Region 4 was excluded since no habitable structures are located along shoreline. Highest values in each category are marked in bold. Key: sw = seawall; du = dune; du+sw = dune and seawall; sw+du = seawall and dune.
