Pensacola Station, FL Coastal Erosion Rate
Shoreline change 11.4 miles west of Pensacola Station, FL
The coast 11.4 miles west of Pensacola Station, FL is actually gaining ground, not losing it: USGS's transects measure 0.7 feet of accretion a year here, sediment building up rather than washing away. At that rate, the shoreline has gained roughly 7 feet over the last decade.
What this reading actually covers
Pensacola Station, FL is the nearest named place, 11.4 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: 30.31, -87.50. Survey years: 2001, method LRR, from USGS's Gulf of Mexico shoreline-change assessment. That's how current the data is here, real, but not a live feed, since a shoreline survey is a major undertaking, not an annual check-in.
What 0.7 ft/yr means over time
Holding the 0.7 ft/yr accretion rate 11.4 miles west of Pensacola Station, FL for 25 years would add roughly 18 feet of shoreline, again assuming nothing about the local sediment supply changes.
What backs this reading up
106 transects feed this segment's number; 0% of them individually measured retreat. The published margin on this reading runs ±0.34 ft/yr. Sorted from fastest erosion to fastest growth across all 1211 measured segments nationally, this one lands at 1062. Source: USGS Open-File Report 2004-1089. Rank 1181 nationally for growth belongs to Mexico Beach, FL, 122 miles from this stretch, measured at 2.91 ft/yr, 4.2x this stretch's rate. 3.2 miles away, Orange Beach, AL is the nearest other measured stretch: also no significant trend.
Not this whole stretch, just Pensacola Station itself: the Coastal Change Hazards Portal is USGS's own live version of this data.
