The Siletz littoral cell, the case study, is one such case. It is one of the most developed portions of the Oregon coast and is already more than half protected by SPSs. The trend for this area has closely mimicked episodic climatic events in that after such events there are bursts of SPS construction. The risk with such an approach is that there will, over the long-term, be a narrowing and eventual loss of oceanfront beaches.

Siletz Bay seems to have still been in the Port of Newport{\textquoteright}s district, so the request to dredge and maintain an 18-foot channel came from the Port of Newport. Once again, the request went nowhere. The subject line of the letter of transmittal is, "Report on additional information on improvements of Siletz River Bar and entrance, Oregon." It was submitted to the Board of Engineers for Rivers and Harbors.
