Abstract
Sea ice is carried to the cost of Hokkaido by wind and water currents every year. In low pressure systems or when there is much sea ice, it drifts out toward the Pacific Ocean. When sea ice moves in shallow water areas, the sandy subgrade on the sea bottom is gouged by the sea ice. This phenomenon is generally called ``ice gouging``. Substantial damage to sea food i.e. (shellfish) and to structures embedded in the seabed is reported every year. However, the mechanisms and behavior of ice gouging is not known sufficiently enough for discussion. Therefore, the authors have conducted a suitable experiment to clarify this phenomenon and have suggested formulas to measure ice gouging.
