PREFACE 



The papers in these Proceedings were presented at a workshop held at 

 Sapelo Island, Georgia, 16-20 May 1976. Although innumerable delays made 

 earlier publication impossible, the editors believe that the papers still 

 contain useful information which may be applied in the rehabilitation and 

 creation of coastal habitats. 



We wish to thank the authors for their patience and cooperation in 

 revising, and in some cases rewriting, their original papers.
