 NTIS AD No. A028 345. 



A research study to determine differences in fauna in spoil areas and natural marsh at 

 Drum Inlet and Snow's Cut, North CaroUna, is presented. A marked difference in faunal 

 development was found at the sites. Research also showed that planting Spartina on dredge 

 spoil led to the creation of salt marsh which resembled natural marsh.

This study evaluates samphng procedures and statistical methods for analysis of the 

 fauna associated with high-energy sandy beaches. An extensive one-season sampling at a 

 relatively undisturbed beach site in central Monterey Bay, California, was used as a basis for 

 tlie evaluation.

Control," Proceedings of Great Lakes Vegetation Workshop, Great Lakes Basin 

 Commission and USDA Soil Conservation Service, Dec. 1976, pp. 31-36. 



CERC and its predecessor, the Beach Erosion Board, have been investigating uses of 

 vegetation for erosion control for nearly two decades. Early research focused upon dune 

 formation and stabilization with beach grasses. More recentiy, marsh grasses have been 

 studied as a means of controlling bank erosion. This presentation summarizes important 

 research findings concerning (a) the use of vegetation for the stabilization and formation of 

 dunes, (b) the use of vegetation for bank stabilization, and (c) the use of vegetation in 

 combination with coastal structures. Potential application of tliese findings in the Great 

 Lakes region is also discussed.
