The Suwannee River Estuary: Cohesive Sedimentation
Cohesive sediment dynamics as effected by salinity intrusion are described for the Suwannee River Estuary, a large estuary flowing over the very shallow limestone shelf of Florida's...

Influence of the Drought Phenomenas of the Senegalese Coastal Ecosystems: The Case of the Saloum Estuary and Mangrove Area
The persistent drought, with the strong reduction in freshwater, causes an oversalinity from upstream to downstream in the Saloum waters. The mangrove system operates such as an inverse...

Atlantic Striped Bass Conservation Act: Unconstitutional Amendment of an Interstate Compact?
The striped bass (Morone saxatilis), a popular and valuable resource which migrates through eastern coastal waters from the Gulf of Mexico to Canada, has experienced serious decline in...

Marine Geological Studies on the Coastal Zone of Kerala
The largest of the estuaries in Kerala, the Vembanad lake formed by the backwater, has been investigated in detail with reference to bathymetry, sediments and geochemistry. A considerable...

Hazard Mitigation Efforts in the Ocean City, Maryland Area
During a low frequency storm event, there is a considerable hazard along the bay shoreline of Ocean City as a result of high water flowing back over the barrier toward the ocean. The purpose...

Coastal Zone Management in Emilia-Romagna, Italy
The beaches of the seaside resorts in the Emilia-Romagna region are of great importance to the regional economy. During the last decades, certain natural and man-induced developments have...

Multiple Owned Coasts: Development & Access
A fifteen mile stretch of coast near the Virginia-North Carolina border is currently undergoing a dilemma associated with development and public access. This region offers an excellent...

Improving Public Access to the New Jersey Shoreline
The New Jersey ocean beaches provide enjoyable recreational opportunities for residents of and visitors to the state. The state's second largest industry, tourism, is dependent...

Designing the Fisherman's Wharf Area, San Francisco Harbor Breakwater
The Fisherman's Wharf Breakwater Project stands out as an example of a complex structure requiring the planning and design talents of the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers (COE)...

Management Strategies for a Mangrove Estuary
The management plan for Rookery Bay National Estuarine Sanctuary uses three mutually dependent management strategies: developing and implementing a land and water management plan; conducting...

A Tidal Gauge System in New York Harbor
For over a year, a Real Time Wind and Water Level Telemetry System (RTWLTS or Tidal Gauge System) in New York Harbor has been generating real time data 24 hours per day on actual harbor...

Discharge Zone Classification System for Southern Puget Sound
This paper identifies marine areas where new or expanded discharges are unacceptable based on existing knowledge; e. g. , water quality standards are currently not met, and impairment...

Priorities for Federal Marine Pollution Research
To provide guidance for the national marine pollution research and monitoring program, a workshop was held recently to identify and assign priorities to the marine pollution issues facing...

The World's First Hydrorama
The concept of HYDRORAMA exceeds conventional museum-like operations. It includes hotel/motel accommodation, academic courses organized by world-round university sources, permanent expositions...

Local Financing for Beach Nourishment at Captiva Island, Florida
About 200 miles of the 780 miles of recreational beach in Florida are in a critical state of erosion. Local financing of beach restoration offers a viable funding alternative for communities...

Nonlinear Deformation and Bispectral Change of Random Gravity Waves on Sloping Bed
A WKB-perturbation method is applied to the deformation of random gravity waves in water of slowly varying depth. In the present analysis, a spectral representation of WKB-type is assumed...

Wave Beach Interaction
This paper gives a derivation of the modification factors of wave amplitudes due to the effect of pure shoaling, friction, percolation and their combined effect. The resulting expressions...

A Transformation Technique to Generate a Shallow-Water Directional Wave Climate
The shallow-water wave data must be computed as to be representative of a sufficient length of coast to be useful for most projects, while sufficiently large to filter out many spurious...

Improvement and Construction of Coastal Fishing Grounds in Japan
Development of coastal fishery has become one of the most important issue in the field of food supply. Basically, in order to promote coastal fishery, it is necessary to increase marine...
