Coastal Oceanography Habitat Reconstruction Beach Renourishment NSN has performed a wide range of coastal oceanographic services, including large-scale flushing of inland water bodies, subsurface mapping and classification of coastal sediments, and computer modeling of hydrodynamic and sediment transport processes in near-shore environments. |

| NSN performed a series of marine MER transects in order to map the geology and stratigraphy of a flushing channel site. The flushing channels were used to turn a stagnant salt pond into a productive marine lagoon. |

| CRP surveys are a superior method
for exploring offshore sand deposits for beach enrichment projects.
The surveys may be conducted in fresh water environments as well as in
salty or even in hyper-saline waters. The
data collected produce a cross section of the bathymetry of the ocean or lake
floor and the electrical resistivity of the underlying sediments.
The electrical resistivity correlates to the sediment type and allows
mapping of the thickness of recent sediment deposits over aged sediments. |
