presented. Conclusions are based on 2.5 linear miles of experimental plots with beach 

 plantings and fence-built dunes on Padre Island, Texas. Results of greenhouse experiments 

 on the effects of nutrients and salinity on beach-grass growth are also presented.

Report discusses the resident species of plants adapted to saUne conditions for control 

 of shore erosion in bays and estuaries. The 12 plant species selected are evaluated for their 

 abUity to stabilize shoreUnes. Several combinations of species are suggested for different 

 zones. An inexpensive wave-stiUing device to protect plantings from wave action is 

 described.

EstabUshment and development of vegetation within the intertidal and supratidal zones 

 on salt marshes and dredged materials to stabilize shoreUnes and abate shoreHne erosion are 

 reported for the mid-Chesapeake Bay region.

This study identifies and evaluates shoreline plants with potential, either alone or in 

 combination with structures, to alter the erosion rate along shores of the Great Lakes. It was 

 determined that plants alone are not suitable erosion controllers along most shores because 

 of severe wave action.

Three aspects of the ecology of Pismo clams were investigated in Monterey Bay, 

 California: distribution, reproduction cycle, and age and growth. Pismo clam populations 

 were restricted to sand beaches between the Salinas River and Santa Cruz with the highest 

 densities intertidal, and their presence and absence correlated with beach slope and grain
