productivity of the islands, marshes, and open marine and estua- 

 rine waters. Special emphasis is placed on Tybee Island, Wassaw 

 Island, Ossabaw Island, St. Catherines Island, Blackbeard Island, 

 Sapelo Island, Little St. Simons Island, St. Simons Island, Jekyll 

 Island, and Cumberland Island.

Historical patterns and rates of erosion and accretion were re- 

 constructed in order to anticipate future erosional and deposi- 

 tional trends on barrier islands between the Savannah River and 

 the entrance to Sapelo Sound, Georgia. Islands discussed include 

 Tybee, Wassaw, Ossabaw, St. Catherines, and Cabbage.
