What factors determine the distribution of suspended sediments in an estuary?
What is important in establishing a zonation for estuaries?
What is the impact of deep subtidal habitat dimension on tidal amplification?
What is the importance of sediment management for integrated estuarine management?
What measures are successful for the dissipation of tidal energy?
