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...

Predictions of Shoaling Rates for a New Harbor in Puget Sound, Washington
Physical and numerical modeling methods were used to predict shoaling rates in the proposed Naval Station Puget Sound, Washington. A simple analytical model (SILTHAR), based on the premise...

An Observational Model of Far-Field Transport
Accurate numerical simulation of the transport and fate of constituents in coastal waters is made difficult by the general inability to adequately specify open-water boundary conditions...

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...

Numerical Solutions for Problems Related to Nearshore Morphology?!
In the development of numerical models of nearshore morphology various steps can be envisaged: 1. initial models: the initial bottom topography remains unchanged; spatial variations in...

Modeling Applications in Coastal Engineering
This paper discusses physical and numerical models of coastal processes as applied to coastal and ocean engineering projects. Some of the concepts and principles of modelling are identified...

Copenhagen Metropolitan Region Coast Erosion Management
Modern requirements for control and development of the coastal zone are best fulfilled through ad hoc initiatives towards coordination between authorities and professionals, based on truly...

Guadalupe Dunes Revegetation Program
The subject of this paper is a revegetation program currently being developed by McClelland Engineers and Cities Services for a five-mile pipeline construction corridor in the Guadalupe...

Coastal Zone Management in Sri Lanka 1978-1986
Although interest in the management of coastal problems in Sri Lanka dates from the 1920s, it was not until the mid-1970s that a management approach began to be developed. Initially, Sri...

Atchafalaya Delta Ecosystem, Conflicts in Multiuse Management
This fresh marsh ecosystem is administered as a State Wildlife Management Area but is also subjected to pressures associated with flood control, navigation, and mineral extraction. Federal...

Resource Planning and Management Committees: A Tool for Intergovernmental Coordination and Conflict Resolution
This article analyzes the role of resource planning and management committees as key intergovernmental coordination and conflict resolution devices in Florida's Area of Critical...

Public Aid to Help Assess Nesting Sea Turtle Populations in Florida
In 1979, the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) initiated a public statewide assessment project by establishing a network of survey volunteers. This network consists of state and federal...

The Nushagak-Mulchatna Rivers Recreation Study
The Nushagak/Mulchatna River drainage was one of two geographical areas identified in the Bristol Bay Coastal Management Program as meeting the criteria for placing a specific area under...

Identification of Consciousness and Behavior of Japanese and the Living Environment in a Coastal Zone
Japan's policy of coastal zone management has changed from placing emphasis on seaside disaster prevention, industry location, and harbor construction to creating the amenities...

Promoting Integrative Approaches to the Management of Coastal Resources within the ASEAN Region
The paper discusses the need to examine alternative means to manage coastal resources within the Association of South East Asian Nations region (ASEAN). One approach, regional development...

New Concepts in Cooperative Fisheries Programs
Coordinated through the National Marine Fisheries Service, these programs serve eight coastal states, two commonwealths, three fishery management councils, two interstate commissions,...

Dispersion of Coal Particles at the Sea Floor
Due to coal unloading, certain quantities of this material arrive at the sea floor, and may pollute the beaches. This study provides a theoretical analysis and numerical simulations of...

Investigation of Wave-Induced Oscillations in Sewage Outfalls
The work described in this paper deals with the effect of wave action on the hydraulic performance of a sewage effluent outfall. The outfall under consideration is an inverted siphon....

An Assessment of the Soft Approach to CZM
During the early development of the national coastal zone management program there was no federal prescription with regard to how coastal states should proceed in establishing their programs...
