Proceedings of the Barrier Island Forum and Workshop
Mayo BS and Smith LB. 1980. Proceedings of the Barrier Island Forum and Workshop. Provincetown, MA. May 28-30, 1980. National Park Service, North Atlantic Region. Boston
These Proceedings provide a record of the 1980 Barrier Island Forum and Workshop, the second in a series of biennial meetings dealing with the management of barrier islands and other coastal barriers, sponsored by the North Atlantic Region of the National Park Service. The use of "barrier island" in the title is not meant to exclude the other types of barrier beaches or coastal barriers such as barrier spits, bay barriers and tombolos. The purpose of this conference was to provide the public, managers and decision-makers with an update on research in areas affecting management and an overview of federal policies for protecting coastal barriers. This documentation of the Forum and Workshop has been provided because so many of the oral presentaitons were exciting, timely, contained much useful information, and appeared to be well received by all involved.
