LING, 1963. A micropaleontological study confirming a close correlation between 

 organisms and type of sediment— namely between foraminifera and grain size. 



LOOSANOFF, 1972. A comprehensive study of turbidity effects on lamelli-branches, 

 using laboratory studies for the most part. Results do not indicate conclusive long-range, 

 large-scale detrimental effects from dredging. 



MEADOWS and ANDERSON, 1968. A study of the micro-organisms abundantly attached 

 to sand grains, relevant to study of interstitial feeding studies, larval settlement studies, 

 and as a factor in substrate selection by adult invertebrates. Micro-organisms investigated 

 include bacteria, blue-green algae, and diatoms. 



MERO, 1966. A semipopular account of the ready availability of many minerals (listed) in 

 the sea, and statement that extraction from sea is simpler than on land. Potential 

 offshore greater than inshore, marine potential given as 5 to 10 times that onshore (as a 

 group). 



NORTH, 1954. One of the few papers giving efficiency factors for food usage by a coastal 

 gastropod (Littorina) important in food-web calculations, and illustrative of a type of 

 work that should be encouraged and extended. 



ODUM, COPELAND, and McMAHAN, 1969. An exhaustive compilation of material 

 descriptive of (mostly) inshore ecological systems. Hopefully this will be published and 

 made more generally available. Much basic material included. 



PAMATMAT, 1966. A thesis study important because it is one of the few concerning 

 respiration rates and productivity on the sand flats; therefore, it forms a base for future 

 studies, at least as far as basic concept. 



PEARSE, HUMM, and WHARTON, 1942. A classic study of a sand beach community, 

 comprising an early thorough study of ecological relationships on the east coast. 

 Descriptions of the fauna, flora, and microbial elements of the community are included, 

 with particular attention to life history and habits of Emerita as a typical intertidal 

 animal and to the roles of bacteria in beach ecology. Contains biotic listings. 



REISH, 1961. A study of repopulation of an area newly created in construction of a boat 

 harbor. Designed as a succession study, it indicates that true succession did not take 

 place; rather the principal species in the fauna were present from the beginning invasion. 

 The fauna showed a peek in quantity after about 2 years. Relatively rapid migration into 

 the area is indicated. 



SANDERS, 1958. Discusses the relations between faunal elements and the substrate. 

 Author finds filter feeders dominant in sand and deposit feeders in mud, as might be 

 expected. Well-sorted fine sand was found to support the largest populations. 

 Hydrodynamic factors relevant to the relations are discussed.
