VI. CONCLUSION 



A method has been presented for predicting one aspect to the long-term 

 evolution of sandy shores. That aspect concerns displacement of the mean 

 shore profile in response to long-term changes in water levels. This pre- 

 diction method worked well in one hindcast instance involving a period of 

 principally rising water (Hands, 1980). The degree of success found in future 

 applications should be reported among Great Lakes engineers.
