Numerical Modeling of the Coastal Current Regime at Yaquina Bay, Oregon
The application of a family of hydrodynamic numerical models for simulating tidal and wave-induced currents at Yaquina Bay, Oregon, is described. An overview of four numerical models is...
Application of an Ecosystem/Water Quality Model as a Tool for Managing Estuarine Water Quality
A laterally averaged two-dimensional computer model was developed to simulate the hydrodynamics, transport, and ecosystem dynamics of Budd Inlet, a small partially mixed estuary located...
Changes in Development Design Along California's Coast as a Result of California's Coastal Program 1973 to 1987
California's coastal program has attempted to encourage and, where necessary, require designs which take into account a proposed development's immediate and surrounding...
The Massachusetts CZM Project Review Process
In 1978 the Massachusetts Coastal Zone Management Program (MCZMP) became the first CZM program on the East Coast to be approved by the U. S. Department of Commerce and is now in its ninth...
Measuring Water-Dependency: A Puget Sound Example
Fostering water-dependent industry through allocation of urban shoreline sites is an important coastal management goal. But water-dependency is an elusive term to define operationally....
Developing Oceanfront Hotels on Built-Up Coasts: Resolving Public Access, Natural Hazards, and Community Character Conflicts
In the mid 1980s, a resurgence of hotel development took place along the oceanfront of the northern shore of New Jersey, a 35 mile reach of barrier spits and headlands intensely developed...
Emergency Shore Protection
Emergency shore protection usually requires design and construction to be completed in a 2 to 3 week period. Emergency shore protection measures at Surfside and Ventura, California required...
Port Everglades Development with Respect for Nature
Port Everglades is located on the Southeast coast of Florida partially within the limits of the City of Fort Lauderdale. With the construction of the port in 1928, the surrounding ecosystem...
Environmental Mitigation Techniques for Marina Development
The paper discusses a coastal design process entitled 'Design by Mitigation'. It describes a series of mitigation measures and techniques which can be used to...
Wetland Restoration and Port Development: The Batiquitos Lagoon Case
Batiquitos Lagoon in San Diego County, California was once a fully tidal lagoon system. Since American settlement of the area, sediment has filled the lagoon, fills for road crossings...
Port Facility Development: Public Access and Mitigation Requirements
Coordination of compatible uses and resolution of use conflicts requires continuous effort, extending beyond the planning and permit process and requiring long-range committment of staff...
Innovations in Dredged Material Disposal in Puget Sound
This study, known as the Puget Sound Dredged Disposal Analysis (PSDDA), is building on a strong history of federal/state cooperation within Washington which is unique in the United States....
Economical Solutions for Dredged Material Disposal
During the 1970's, the State of Wisconsin expressed concern about contamination of dredged materials and the deposition of pollutants into Wisconsin's Great Lakes...
Tiered Sediment Quality Evaluations for Dredging Projects
Sediment and water quality are evaluated frequently for U. S. Army Corps of Engineers (CoE) dredging projects to assess potential biological effects, as required for compliance with environmental...
An Innovative Solution to the Difficult Coastal Zone Management Problem of Dredge Material Disposal
The New York Power Authority is constructing a 300 km predominantly double circuit 345kV transmission facility through southeastern New York State. A key element in this project is the...
Aquatic Dredged Material Disposal in New England
The Disposal Area Monitoring System (DAMOS) is a large multi-disciplinary environmental monitoring program instituted by the New England Division (NED) of the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers...
Use of Sediment Bulk Chemistry Data for Dredged Disposal Management in Puget Sound
Although no fully scientific approach for setting and interpreting sediment chemical levels is currently available, an effects-based approach for using bulk chemistry data was evaluated...
Protocol for Deep Ocean Disposal Monitoring
Deep ocean sites are presently being considered for the permanent disposal of wastes. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), in conjunction with other agencies, is mandated to monitor...
California: Private Beaches Yield to Public Access
California, often a leader in championing public rights, has grappled with the issue of private ownership versus public usage of the seashore, and in recent years has developed interesting...
Judicial Solutions to Beach Access Problems in New Jersey
Legal doctrines notwithstanding, access to public trust beach is still, in many locations, inconvenient, expensive, or impossible. Private property signs containing threats of fines or...
