Volume IV consists of Appendixes C and D, additional support data for 

 biophysical profiles and estuarine landscape survey and analysis. The 

 latter contains brief descriptions and characterizations of dominant land 

 forms in each of six Atlantic and Gulf coast estuarine regions as well as 

 map sections depicting coastal land-forms, developed land, biotic re- 

 sources, public lands, and industrial and power sites.

Volume V consists of three separate appendixes: some economic factors 

 affecting the estuarine zone, technology impacts on estuary resource use, 

 and conflicts and problems in specific estuaries. Of particular interests 

 to barrier islands of the Atlantic and Gulf coasts are case studies (Ap- 

 pendix G) of Penobscot Bay, Maine; Delaware Bay, Delaware and Mew Jersey; 

 Charleston Harbor, South Carolina; Tampa Bay, Florida; and Galveston Bay, 

 Texas.

Beach processes are discussed with emphasis on processes operating on 

 barrier islands. Dynamics of the littoral zone, erosional and accretional 

 phases of shoreline development, and the origin of barrier islands are 

 analyzed.
