Mangrove Swamps and Coastal Lagoons: Uses and Stressors
The physical setting and the multiple-use of the mangroves and coastal lagoons of Santa Catarina State in the south of Brazil was studied. Anthropogenic stressors interfering with the...

Modeling the Fate and Transport of Biocides in Estuarine Power Plant Cooling Water Discharges
This paper presents a framework with examples for understanding the fate and transport of cooling system discharges into estuaries through the use of modeling. The modeling of biofouling...

Studies in an Unproductive Coastal Lagoon in South Texas: A Case Against One-Time Sampling for Environmental Assessments
This study illustrates the problems inherent in attempting to write an environmental assessment based on inadequate or misleading data. Results can be biased against environmental preservation...

Coastal Resource Management: The Ecosystem Perspective
A definite need exists to generate coastal management strategies that focus upon integration of the complex interactions between biological, physical, chemical, and geological processes...

Sonoma County: Success Story of California's Coastal Development
The Sea Ranch second home development, agricultural and timber land preservation, the need for better commercial fishing facilities, and recreational and visual access to the coast were...

A Comprehensive Planning Approach for the Conservation of Coastal Resources at the Local Level
The recent rapid growth of New Hanover County in coastal North Carolina has created the classic dilemma of an environmentally attractive locality attempting to accommodate desirable growth...

Special Management Area Planning in Mississippi's Coastal Zone: The Port Bienville Experience
In Mississippi, the key state agency charged with the responsibility for coastal wetland protection is the Bureau of Marine Resources, a sub-division of the Department of Wildlife Conservation....

Bristol Bay Regional Planning: An Oil Industry Perspective
The Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act (ANILCA) specified the preparation of a Bristol Bay Cooperative Management Plan (BBCMP) - a joint effort of the State of Alaska and...

Managing Shoreline Changes in the Presence of Nearshore Shoal Migration and Attachment
The purpose of this paper is to describe these events in detail and illustrate the need for better understanding of erosion/deposition patterns around tidal inlets. Periodic beach surveys...

The Recovery of Monterey Bay Beaches After the Winter Storms of 1982-83
The El Nino conditions of 1982 and 1983 produced unusually frequent and intense storms along the central California coast. These storms produced much greater than normal beach erosion...

Ebb-Tidal Deltas and Barrier Island Morphology
Offshore depositional features such as ebb-tidal deltas may have significant and perhaps controlling influence on barrier island morphology. These features serve three primary functions....

Geological Processes and Conservation Management Strategies for Barrier Islands of the Virginia Coast Reserve
A barrier island is a sandy deposit that is located immediately offshore and parallels a mainland coast. It is the principal environment of six interactive environments that make up the...

Estuary-Wide Mitigation Options for Port Development in Tampa Bay, Florida
The need for a regional strategy to address the environmental problems resulting from port development in Tampa Bay was recognized as important for the improvement and protection of the...

Application of Estuarine Habitat Models in Alabama
The development of quantitative impact assessment methods over the past decade has improved our ability to identify environmental losses and recommend appropriate compensation measures...

Development of a Computerized Wetlands Mapping Data Base for Use in Section 404 Jurisdictional Determinatins in San Francisco Bay
Development and habitat alteration in the San Francisco Bay-Delta system have placed the remaining wetlands in jeopardy. The Bay-Delta wetlands will be mapped in a joint project of the...

Community Succession Modeling for Resource Management
The U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service is implementing community succession models to forecast the impacts of altered hydrological regimes on forested floodplains and coastal marshes. A pilot...

Remote Sensing of Mangrove Areas on the Brazilian Coast
Remote sensing techniques are compared when applied on the survey of mangrove areas. The use of LANDSAT MSS scenes from channels 5 and 7, processed by interactive analyzer, allowed the...

The Strategic Petroleum Reserve Ocean Monitoring Program?An Introduction to Environmental Aspects of the Engineering Design Process
A model describes how determinations can be made on the effects of an engineered work or product in the environment. The engineered work can be a new waterway, a wastewater diffuser system,...

Mitigating Environmental Losses Through Project Planning
A significant amount of industry effort goes into project planning prior to preparation and submission of a permit application. Baseline studies are conducted, including preparation of...

Petroleum Development in Louisiana's Coastal Zone
The most intense petroleum development activity in the nation's coastal area has been concentrated in Louisiana. Most of Louisiana's production has occurred in...
