then this area is in constant process of adjustment because the tide range, and the related tidal prism, varies 

 continually. 



The Bolinas Bay-Bolinas Lagoon system is a natural laboratory in which a large amount of data has been 

 compiled on hydrography, wave action, tidal hydraulics, sediment transport and sedimentation, and the ecosystem. 

 However, the data are insufficient to adequately define the importance of the inlet area and tidal prism. The source, 

 nature, and availability of data on the Bolinas Lagoon inlet are summarized as a guide to possible future studies at 

 Bolinas, and at other inlets.
