PREFACE 



This report is published to provide coastal engineers and scientists a 

 comprehensive annotated bibliography for evaluating the biological effects 

 of constructing channels, jetties, and other coastal structures. The bib- 

 liography is useful for planning and designing coastal engineering projects 

 and preparing environmental assessments and statements. The compilation of 

 the bibliography was carried out under the U.S. Army Coastal Engineering 

 Research Center's (CERC) Effects of Channel Deepening and Jetties on Fish 

 and Shellfish Migration work unit. Environmental Impact Program, Environ- 

 mental Quality Area of Civil Works Research and Development . 



The report was compiled by Julie C. Ford, Arthur K. Hurme, and Edward 

 J. Pullen of the Coastal Ecology Branch, under the general supervision of 

 Mr. R.P. Savage, Chief, Research Division.
