Chesapeake Bay Future Conditions Report. Volume 8. Navigation, Flood Control, Shoreline Erosion.
Abstract
Volume 9 consists of 3 appendices. Appendix 9, Navigation, focuses on the importance of waterborne commerce to the Chesapeake Bay. The historical significance of waterborne commerce to the development of the Bay Region, the present levels of use of the Bay's waterways and some of the navigation-related problems and conflicts are discussed and identified. The appendix further presents the results of projections of waterborne commerce in the Region and identifies possible future problem areas. Appendix 10 focuses on the conflict between man's use and development of the shoreline and the natural process of flooding. This appendix identifies both existing and projected future flood prone areas and the various measures that can be used to prevent or reduce flood damages. Appendix 11 focuses on shoreline erosion. An assessment of areas presently affected by erosion as well as areas where projected development may be threatened by erosion is addressed. Recommendations are made for preventing and/or reducing shoreline erosion.
