SAN LORENZO LAGOON: HOW DOES IT WORK? 2016 State of the San Lorenzo River Symposium Dr. David Revell revellcoastal@gmail. com 5/21/2016
CONCEPTUAL LAGOON FUNCTION LAGOON a stretch of salt water separated from the sea by a low sand bank (or coral reef) Closed Mouth – Lagoon Full Open Mouth – Tidal Conditions Open Mouth – Perched (muted tides) Figure from ESA PWA Closed Mouth
WAVE OVERTOPPING
OPEN MOUTH - TIDAL 10 feet Time Elapsed ~ 1 hour
OPEN MOUTH - STREAM
CLOSED MOUTH

LAGOON WATER LEVELS • Stream Flow • Beach Condition • Width • Sediment Size • Lagoon Mouth • Inlet dimensions • Depth of sill • Ocean Water Levels • Tides • Sea level rise • Storm Surge & Wave Run-up • Channel Maintenance • Human activities 8
SALINITY Amount of salt in the water • Salt Water is heavier than freshwater • Salt water sinks and freshwater floats • Creates different types of habitat conditions DISSOLVED OXYGEN (DO) Amount of oxygen in the water • Needed by fish and other aquatic organisms • Without oxygen aquatic organisms suffocate

HOW DOES IT WORK • Waves strongly influence water level and salinity in closed lagoon • Beach sill typically mutes tide below 0 -3’ NGVD • Bottom temperature high until lagoon freshens • Lagoon does freshen some during closure (2 - 4 weeks) • Bottom DO generally low after mouth closure • Wave overwash increases DO at bottom Beach elevation ranges from 6. 5 to 9’ (NGVD) during closure Beach crest is highest in front of the inlet Thalweg depth varies widely from beach to train trestle Everything will change in the future
