To date there planning approach that seeks to address have been a number of separately funded coastal sediment processes and issues on a studies and projects related to the SMP that broader geographic scale. It recognizes that range from physical data collection, review sand, cobble, and fine sediment is an of environmental effects, socioeconomic important natural resource that is critical to analysis, GIS database development, policy the environmental health and economic review, and beneficial reuse of sediment. vitality of the coastal zone. The sediment is what makes up the beaches, resides offshore In recognition of the diverse nature of the in significant deposits, and is delivered to California coastline, the CSMW intends to the coast from inland source areas by the fulfill the regional sediment management various rivers and streams. The relevant objectives of the SMP by developing a sediment processes extend from inland series of regional Plans that are watersheds to offshore areas. This broad geographically specific to and target the coverage overlaps multiple geopolitical distinct shoreline segments of the California boundaries which explains why a regional coast. The Coastal Regional Sediment planning perspective is needed. Management Plans (CRSMP) are intended to formulate regionally relevant consensus- Regional Sediment Management is about driven sediment management policy and having greater understanding and knowledge guidance in order to restore, preserve and about all of the interrelationships between maintain coastal beaches and other critical coastal and offshore sediment deposits, areas of sediment deficit, sustain recreation inland origins of coastal sediment, sediment and tourism, enhance public safety and pathways to the coast, and how sand moves access, and restore coastal sandy habitats. about the shoreline. From this knowledge base, improved sediment management The Beach Erosion Authority for Clean decisions, policies, and practices can be Oceans and Nourishment (BEACON) is a formulated and implemented on a regional Joint Powers Authority composed of Santa scale to preserve or enhance existing Barbara and Ventura Counties and the six beaches, address inter-related resource needs cities of Goleta, Santa Barbara, Carpinteria, and opportunities, and optimally manage Ventura, Oxnard, and Port Hueneme (see coastal projects for the regional benefit.

BEACON’s CRSMP provides the opportunity to revisit its past and California has been actively engaged in ongoing programs, fine tune its goals and finding ways and means to resolve coastal objectives, and map practical erosion and sediment management issues on implementation strategies into the future. a broader scale.

    The Goleta Slough Watershed a Review of Data Collected from October 2005 Through September 2006 by Santa Barbara Channelkeeper's Goleta Stream Team by Al Leydecker

    The Goleta Slough Watershed A review of data collected from October 2005 through September 2006 by Santa Barbara Channelkeeper's Goleta Stream Team by Al Leydecker Introduction The streams that drain the Goleta Slough watershed transport pollutants such as bacteria and excess nutrients down to the slough and ocean, and the purpose of Santa Barbara Channelkeeper's Stream Team program is to provide comprehensive monitoring of this ecologically important catchment. The Goleta Stream Team began in the summer of 2002 as a partnership program of Santa Barbara Channelkeeper and the Isla Vista Chapter of the Surfrider Foundation. The program has three goals: to collect baseline information about the health of the watershed; to help identify sources of pollution; and to educate and train a force of watershed stewards in the local community. Stream Team conducts monthly on-site testing at designated locations on streams tributary to the Goleta Slough and in the slough itself. Near the beginning of each month, teams of volunteers measure physical and chemical parameters using portable, hand-held instruments. Data collected include on-site measurements of dissolved oxygen, turbidity, conductivity, pH, temperature and flow. Water samples are collected at each site and later processed in Channelkeeper's laboratory for three Public Health bacterial indicators using approved standard methodology (Colilert-18 and Enterolert-24, manufactured by Idexx Laboratories; US-EPA, 2003). Additional samples are analyzed for nutrients through the cooperation of the Santa Barbara Channel – Long Term Ecological Research Project (SBC-LTER) at the University of California, Santa Barbara. The nutrient parameters measured are ammonium, nitrite plus nitrate, orthophosphate, total dissolved nitrogen and total dissolved phosphorus.

    Turner, RJ. 2005. Beachrock, in Schwartz, ML, ed., Encyclopedia of Coastal Science. Kluwer Academic Publishers, The Netherlands. Pp. 183-186. BEACHROCK Formation and Distribution of Beachrock Beachrock is defined by Scoffin and Stoddart (1987, 401) as "the consolidated deposit that results from lithification by calcium carbonate of sediment in the intertidal and spray zones of mainly tropical coasts." Beachrock units form under a thin cover of sediment and generally overlie unconsolidated sand, although they may rest on any type of foundation. Maximum rates of subsurface beachrock cementation are thought to occur in the area of the beach that experiences the most wetting and drying - below the foreshore in the area of water table excursion between the neap low and high tide levels (Amieux et al, 1989; Higgins, 1994). Figure B49 shows a beachrock formation displaying typical attributes. Figure B49 Multiple unit beachrock exposure at barrio Rio Grande de Aguada, Puerto Rico. The sculpted morphology, development of a nearly vertical landward edge, and dark staining of outer surface by cyanobacteria indicate that this beachrock has experience extended exposure. Landward relief and imbricate morphology of beachrock units define shore- parallel runnels that impound seawater (photo R. Turner). There are a number of theories regarding the process of beach sand cementation. Different mechanisms of cementation appear to be responsible at different localities. The primary mechanisms proposed for the origin of beachrock cements are as follows: 1)
