Estuarine Management?The Indian River Lagoon
Estuarine systems have become recognized and valued for their economic, recreational and aesthetic appeal. There has been a concerted effort on national, regional, state and local levels...
Estuarine Rehabilitation?A Management Perspective
This paper discusses a proposed methodology consistent with proven management techniques that is derived, in part, by a critical analysis of currently published techniques and approaches....
A Successful Merging of Scientific Research and Public Participation
This paper describes the on-going programs at the US Army Corps of Engineers' San Francisco Bay-Delta Model and Visitor Center that aim to broaden the general public's...
Hurricane Induced Changes in Apalachicola Bay, Fla.
Immediately prior to a hurricane a detailed study had just been completed that included description and analysis of the bay's bottom sediments and its bathymetry. A similarly...
Estuarine Quality Use and Public Perception
Coastal environmental quality is determined on the basis of a relatively small number of biochemical and physical parameters which may bear little relation to the intended use of the water....
Restoring the Redwood Creek Estuary
During the mid-1960's, construction of a flood control project drastically altered the lower 5. 1 kilometers of Redwood Creek, impairing the physical and biological functioning...
Methods of Achiving Cooperation in Estuary Management: The Fraser River Estuary Case
Management of estuaries is often fragmented, especially for estuaries located in major urban areas. Each estuary resource (fish, water supply, port sites) is managed by one or more government...
Best Management Practices for Small-Scale Agriculture
Best Management Practice (BMP) concepts, identified in response to Clean Water Act requirements, provide nonregulatory techniques for minimizing water degradation, through identification...
The Albemarle-Pamlico Sound System
The Albemarle-Pamlico Sound system is the second largest estuarine system in the United States in areal extent, and the fourth largest in volume. Moreover, it is one of the most important...
Development Activities: Albemarle-Pamlico Sound Area
Paper briefly describes historical and emerging development activities in the Albemarle-Pamlico Sound area selected for study by a joint State/U. S. Environmental Protection Agency Task...
Environmental Problems of the Albemarle-Pamlico Sound System
The Albemarle-Pamlico estuarine system is the second largest estuarine area in the United States. This system consists of 2 large coastal lagoons (Albemarle and Pamlico Sounds) with their...
The Albemarle-Pamlico Estuarine Study
The Albemarle-Pamlico Estuarine Study was formulated on the deep need to preserve the long-term productivity of a unique and complex estuarine system. As the traditional way of life in...
Numerical Modeling of Estuarine Training Structure Effects on Navigation Channel Performance
A two-dimensional, vertically averaged, numerical modeling technique is presented to analyze estuarine training structure performance. The technique consists of using the US Army Corps...
Storm Surge Model Sensitivity in Estuarine Areas
Under the auspices of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), a numerical study was undertaken to determine the sensitivity of predicted storm tide levels within an estuary to hurricane...
Estuarine Protection Through Public Participation
Because public participation is such a time-honored component of the coastal resource management process, it is often easy to forget the pivotal role that citizen activism and public access...
Rediscovery of the Lower Duwamish River Estuary Solutions to Pollution by Point and Nonpoint Source Controls
Beginning in 1960, a series of point-source pollution controls, new sewage interceptors and treatment plant upgrades dramatically improved conventional water quality parameters in the...
Technique for Assessing Estuarine Sediment Pollutants
A technique was developed for the Mississippi Sound whereby all pertinent scientific data could be gathered and be assimilated in a format that would permit sediment pollution to be assessed...
Still More on Japan's Inland Sea Coastal Citizens' Movements
This paper is the third in a continuing series of reports on the battle of Japan's coastal citizens in that nation's largest estuarine water body, the famed Seto...
Shoreline Protection Through Process Stabilization (
Considerable analytical work, including model testing, has been conducted to increase understanding of performance and failure. There is a separate category of problems, however, where...
A Comparative Framework for Understanding Estuary Governance: Theory and Examples
The University of Rhode Island is conducting a three-year interdisciplinary study funded by Sea Grant to describe and compare the conditions, uses and experience of governance in four...
