Future programs in the coastal zone proposed 

 by the Corps include: 



-Effects of construction activities on the ecology 

 of the coastal zone, a multi-agency, multi- 

 discipline research program to suggest practical 

 measures, related to construction, to improve the 

 management of our estuarine and coastal waters 

 and adjacent lands 



-Development of offshore facilities, a research 

 program to develop engineering design criteria and 

 techniques for construction of future offshore 

 barriers, islands, causeways, airfields, power and 

 desalinization plants, harbors, floating break- 

 waters, terminal platforms, and access tunnels 



-New techniques and equipment for restoration 

 of coastal shores and beaches, a proposal to 

 develop techniques and equipment to excavate 

 material from offshore deposits and deliver it in a 

 practicable and economical manner to beaches 

 requiring restoration or nourishment. 



XIX. NAVY 



The effect on the coastal zone of the many 

 activities of the Navy is difficult to ascribe. In 

 general, the following can be noted: 



—Use of the shoreline and nearshore waters for 

 bases, test ranges, and operating areas 



—Research, technology, development, and opera- 

 tions by Naval activities supporting the Navy's 

 mission for National security 



—Funding and other Navy support for basic 

 science and research conducted at universities and 

 private laboratories. 



Few coastal regions do not in some measure 

 feel the impact of Naval installations and bases. 

 Approximately 1 per cent of the total U.S. 

 shoreline^' is utilized by the Department of 



Shoreline Recreation Resources of the United States 

 ORRRC Report No. 4, 1962. See Table 2 of Chapter 3. 

 Alaska and Hawaii are not included in this figure.
