Estuaries and Wetlands are important coastal resources which are
subject to a great deal of environmental stress. Dredging,
construction, creation of intertidal wetlands, regulation of fresh-
water flow, and pollution are just a few of the activities which
affect these coastal systems. The need to predict the effects of
these perturbations upon ecosystem dynamics, particularly estuarine
fisheries, as well as on physical effects, such as sedimentation
and salt intrusion, is of paramount importance. Prediction requires
the use of models, but no model is likely to be satisfactory unless
fundamental physical, chemical, sedimentological, and biological
processes are quantitatively understood, and the appropriate time
and space scales known. With these considerations in mind, the
Environmental Laboratory, U. S. Army Engineer Haterways Experiment
Station,* Vicksburg, Mississippi, sponsored a workshop on
"Estuarine and Wetland Processes and Water Quality Modeling" held
in New Orleans, June 1979. The contents of this volume have been
selected from the workshop papers. The resulting book, perhaps more
than any other symposium proceed- ings on estuaries and wetlands,
attempts to review important pro- cesses and place them in a
modeling context. There is also a distinct applied tinge to a
number of the contributions since some of the research studies were
motivated by environmental assessments. The difference in title
between this volume and the workshop re- flects more accurately the
contents of the published papers.
