Rincon Island is a manmade offshore island composed of armor rock and 

 tetrapod revetments enclosing a sand core. An evaluation after 14 years 

 showed: no damage by waves, littoral transport has been unaffected, little 

 subsidence has occurred; and a thriving community of marine organisms has 

 developed.

 a Natural Pass," Technical Series No. 9, Texas Parks and Wildlife Depart- 

 ment, Austin, Tex., 1971. 



The movements of commercially important species of fish and crustaceans 

 through Cedar Bayou Inlet, Texas, were monitored to determine the spatial dis- 

 tribution and seasonality of each species and to identify environmental factors 

 that cause or affect movements between oceanic and estuarine waters. The species 

 studied included the brown shrimp, pink shrimp, white shrimp, blue crab, red 

 drum, southern flounder, sheepshead, and spotted sea trout. 



Data concerning the seasonal abundance and vertical and horizontal distribu- 

 tion of each species are presented, and the results of a statistical analysis of 

 correlated environmental variables are discussed.

 Bass that Migrate into the Coastal Fishery," Frooeedings of Session on 

 Advances in Striped Bass Life History and Population Dynamios, 108th 

 Annual Meeting, American Fisheries Society, Aug. 1978. 



Past observations of year-class patterns and racial characteristics have 

 indicated that the Chesapeake Bay spawning grounds provide the principal support 

 of the coastal striped bass fishery. However, past tagging studies indicate 

 that only a few percent of the striped bass leave the bay. These observations 

 are contradictory since a few percent of the Chesapeake Bay stock could not 

 support the majority of the coastal fisheries. 



The present work includes a reexamination of the tagging studies conducted 

 during the 1957-61 period by the Chesapeake Biological Laboratory in the Potomac 

 River. The studies examined age-specific sex ratios at several positions in the 

 Potomac River during the spawning season. The analysis indicates that few young 

 males leave the bay and that approximately one-half of the 3-year-old females 

 migrate to coastal waters.

Bayocean Spit, separating Tillamook Bay from the Pacific Ocean on the north 

 Oregon coast, underwent severe erosion following construction of a north jetty 

 at the bay entrance in 1914-17. The shoreline north of the north jetty advanced 

 seaward by about 600 meters. This pattern of erosion and deposition following 

 jetty construction has generally been interpreted as the jetty blocking the north 

 to south net littoral drift in the area. A study of the shoreline changes and
