Figure 16. Difference in longshore transport rate for pit 1 and pit2 compared to no pit.
Figure 16. For 135 locations (A, black line) along Breton Island (0 m contour shown in green), change in the longshore transport rate (eq. 1) with the addition of pit 1 (B) and pit 2 (C) for each of the 116 wave scenarios (fig. 2). Red colors indicate a positive change in transport (more northerly or less southerly) and blue colors indicate negative change transport (more southerly or less northerly).
