Report on the National Shoreline Study
Date:
August 1971
Creator(s):
Headquarters U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
This report represents the first overall National appraisal of shore erosion problems. In the congressional hearings preceding authorization of this National Shoreline Study, it was recognized that determination of the scope and magnitude of the problem is an essential prelude to any effort to control erosion induced damage; that all parties -Federal, State, local, and private -concerned with shore erosion need better estimates as a basis for long range comprehensive planning.
