Navarre, FL Coastal Erosion Rate

Shoreline change 1.3 miles southwest of Navarre, FL

No significant trend

Nothing alarming measured 1.3 miles southwest of Navarre, FL: whatever shift USGS's transects picked up here is too small to call reliably one way or the other, which this site reports as "no significant trend" rather than forcing a direction.

What "Navarre" means on this page

Navarre, FL is the nearest named place, 1.3 miles away, to a ~3.5-mile stretch of coast USGS has surveyed - the reading below covers that whole stretch, not a single property in it. Segment center: 30.40, -86.90. The survey behind it runs to 2001, in USGS's Gulf of Mexico assessment, using the LRR method. Shoreline surveys aren't repeated every year, so this is the most recent long-term measurement USGS has published for this coast, not a live reading.

Where this fits nationally

Averaging 96 separate transects produced this segment's rate, with 100% individually reading as erosion, rather than relying on any single survey line. The published margin on this reading runs ±0.52 ft/yr. The unadjusted figure here, -0.22 ft/yr, would place it 479 of 1211 if ranked directly - but an unreliable rank isn't a useful one, which is exactly why "no significant trend" is the headline instead. Source: USGS Open-File Report 2004-1089. Rank 1111 nationally for growth belongs to Chincoteague, VA, 845 miles from this stretch, measured at 1.04 ft/yr. Woodlawn Beach, FL, 3 miles off, is the adjacent measured stretch, itself no significant trend.
