| Abstract: | Purpose: This Coastal and Hydraulics Engineering Technical Note (CHETN) discusses several design alternatives to reduce dredging requirements of the Galveston, TX, entrance channels. The area of study encompasses adjacent regions of Galveston Island and Bolivar Peninsula, TX, with primary focus on the Galveston Entrance Channel, Outer Bar Channel, Inner Bar Channel, and Anchorage Area (but not the Galveston Harbor Channel) (Figure 1). This team study by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC), Vicksburg, MS, and the USACE Galveston District (SWG) was supported by the USACE Regional Sediment Management (RSM) Program. |
