Saco Bay, Maine: Sediment Budget for Late Twentieth Century to Present

Abstract

This Coastal and Hydraulics Engineering Technical Note (CHETN) describes a sediment budget that was developed to support a Regional Sediment Management (RSM) strategy for Saco Bay, ME. The region includes the three Federal navigation projects of Saco River, Wood Island Harbor/Biddeford Pool, and Scarborough River. This sediment budget will help address sediment management issues in conjunction with the needs of eroding beaches in the communities of Saco, Biddeford, and Scarborough.
