	State of Alabama beach management plan
		Alabama's Gulf of Mexico beaches are one of the greatest economic and environmental assets of the state.
		The beaches of Dauphin Island were found to be so sensitive to the sheltering afforded by the shoals that a two-foot increase in the elevation of the shoals would have reduced the longshore sand transport rate, and thus the erosional shift of sand along the beach, to roughly 50% of what was experienced.
		Alabama was exposed to the more severe side of the storm including waves driven by onshore hurricane force winds and storm surges that varied up to roughly +10 feet (elevations are referenced to the National Geodetic Vertical Datum) which is about 8 feet higher than the mean high tide.

The Douglass study explained that as much as 500 feet of the east end beaches have disappeared.
