摘要: During construction of the Aguadilla Harbor, Puerto Rico, breakwater (June 1993 through July 1995), shoaling of the harbor was observed, and excessive wave heights in the harbor caused by refraction/diffraction were much larger than expected. Following construction, additional shoaling occurred even with only limited wave activity, and significantly excessive harbor shoaling occurred. The source of the harbor-shoaling sand was not known with certainty. The quantity of sediment deposited in the harbor was surprising given the relatively minor amount of sand thought to be available within the littoral system. The following five aspects of the Aguadilla Harbor project were proposed for monitoring under the Monitoring Completed Navigation Projects (MCNP) Program: (a) breakwater armor stability; (b) harbor wave action; (c) physical mechanisms causing harbor shoaling; (d) rates and quantity of harbor sedimentation; and (e) sources of sand causing the harbor shoaling.
