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...
Concrete Armor Mats: Large-Scale Wave Tank Tests Wave Stability Tests
Concrete mats provide an alternative to the more conventional shoreline stabilization techniques. Material requirements are low, placement techniques are straightforward and they tend...

A Small Community's Response to Catastrophic Coastal Bluff Erosion
This paper describes the actions taken by a small unincorporated coastal community in Northern California during a series of catastrophic bluff erosional events, which occurred between...
Ocean Space Encompassed by Oil and Gas Activities
The implications of exploratory and production drilling depth records from 1947 to the present are considered in terms of ocean area involved and coastal management. Technological changes...
OTEC: At the Brink of Commercial Reality?
The development of ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC) has traditionally been a question of technological feasibility and economics. Recent research and design developments, however,...
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...
EntrapmentMonitoring at an Arctic Seawater Intake
This paper presents the results of a monitoring program designed to quantify the level of fish entrapment during a seawater treatment plant (STP) operation as well as immediate and delayed...
Evaluating LNG As a Fuel for Diesel Shrimp Boats
Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) is being evaluated as a viable fuel for diesel engines. A shrimp boat is being used to evaluate the LNG system. LNG has an economic advantage to diesel fuel;...
