Southern Monterey Bay was the most intensively mined shoreline (with sand removed directly from the surf zone) in the U.S.during the period from 1906 until 1990, when the mines were closed following hypotheses that the mining caused coastal erosion.It is estimated that the yearly averaged amount of mined sand between 1940 and 1984 was 128,000 m3/yr, which is approximately50% of the yearly average dune volume loss during this period. To assess the impact of sand mining, erosion rates along an 18 kmrange of shoreline during the times of intensive sand mining (1940–1990) are compared with the rates after sand mining ceased(1990–2004). Most of the shoreline is composed of unconsolidated sand with extensive sand dunes rising up to a height of 46 m,vulnerable to the erosive forces of storm waves. Erosion is defined here as a recession of the top edge of the dune. Recession wasdetermined using stereo-photogrammetry, and LIDAR and GPS surveys. Long-term erosion rates vary from about 0.5 m/yr atMonterey to 1.5 m/yr in the middle of the range, and then decrease northward. Erosion events are episodic and occur when stormwaves and high tides coincide, allowing swash to undercut the dune and resulting in permanent recession. Erosion appears to becorrelated with the occurrence of El Niños. The calculated volume loss of the dune in southern Monterey Bay during the 1997–98El Niño winter was 1,820,000 m3, yang merupakan hampir tujuh kali sejarah tahunan berarti gundukan erosi 270.000 m3/yr.alongshore variasi dalam resesi harga tampaknya menjadi fungsi alongshore gradien dalam energi gelombang berarti dan depletions olehpenambangan pasir. Setelah penghentian dari penambangan pasir pada tahun 1990, tingkat erosi menurun di lokasi di ujung selatan Teluk tapitidak signifikan berubah di lokasi lain.© 2006 Elsevier BV Semua Hak, milik.
