Figure 1. Maps showing (A) the location of Breton Island in the Gulf of Mexico, the G1, G2, and G3 numerical model domains, and the three National Data Buoy Center (NDBC) buoys (42040, 42012, and 42007) used in model scenario development and assessment, and (B) the spatial extent of the G3 model domain, showing the G4 domain as well as the extent of two proposed borrow pits considered in the wave modeling study. The channel running northeast of Breton Island is the Mississippi River Gulf Outlet (MRGO).
