wave transmission model for REMR use, the reef transmission model will provide 

 a logical starting point. There are numerous other approaches and models for 

 wave transmission which can provide insight for improving the reef model and 

 adapting it for REMR use. Some of the most important sources of additional 

 information are Calhoun (1971), Goda (1969, 1985), Keulegan (1973), Madsen and 

 White (1976), Sollitt and Cross (1976), Johnson, Fuchs, and Morison (1951), 

 Thornton and Calhoun (1972), and Seelig (1980). The work of these investiga- 

 tors and others to be identified should be coupled with proposed laboratory 

 tests specifically oriented toward REMR objectives to provide improved 

 guidance on methods to reduce wave transmission by overtopping.
