1 Metrics and Indicators of Coastal Infrastructure Resilience for Marine Transportation Presenter: Marin Kress, PhD USACE-ERDC Coastal & Hydraulics Lab Navigation Branch NOAA SeaGrant Knauss 13 Resilience of Coastal Infrastructure March 2017 College of Engineers and Surveyors Hato Rey, Puerto Rico

2 USACE: Navigation Mission safe, reliable, efficient, and environmentally sustainable waterborne transportation systems for movement of commerce, national security needs, and recreation. In the U.S., 926 coastal, Great Lakes and inland harbors 12,000 miles of inland/shallow-draft channels 13,000 miles of 14ft+ channels 200 Mill cubic yards/year of dredged sediments to maintain navigation channels 24 percent of U.S. hydropower capacity 600 dams

3 Marine Transportation System (MTS) Performance Measures Economic Benefits to the Nation Total value and tonnage of international trade moved by MTS Income and disbursement of Harbor Maintenance and Inland Waterways Trust Funds Producer Price Index for Transportation Industries Direct employment in MTS industries for ten states with highest reported MTS employment Inland waterway shipping barge freight rates Capacity and Reliability Navigation lock closures, hours and number of closures, unscheduled and scheduled High tonnage channels with NOAA PORTS instrumentation Travel time estimates for key waterway segments Safety and Security Number of commercial vessel accidents (collisions, allisions, groundings) Number of commercial mariner and passenger casualties (personal injuries, deaths) Number of U.S. Coast Guard incident investigations Environmental Stewardship U.S. petroleum-based fuel sales to the maritime industry (diesel fuel, residual fuel) Vessel pollution incidents (petroleum and other types) Amount of dredged material reclaimed for beneficial use Number of reported whale strikes by vessels Resilience Physical condition ratings of critical coastal navigation infrastructure 3

8 Framing questions for examining CIR of the marine transportation system What kind of resilience? What infrastructure are you studying? What is your time span? (days years) What is your spatial extent? (local national) Types of disruptions?

9 Channel Portfolio Tool Long-term CIR trends CPT allows queries of historical commercial shipping data from USACE Waterborne Commerce Statistics Center Reach-level detail Region-to-region Groups of channels By commodity, year, vessel type Hypothetical shoaling Access to CPT is limited to authorized users.

10 AIS Analysis Package (AISAP) Time-stamped vessel position data from USCG archive Vessels identified by ID numbers, vessel type Compare vessel movements before/during/after resilience challenge Katherine Touzinsky afternoon presentation New Jersey New York 15km Atlantic Ocean

17 Unanswered questions / Possible collaborations What are the needs for indicators of resilience? Navigation channels Roads and bridges Beaches Dunes Seawalls How do we communicate these indicators so that they can inform decision-making?
