The Shoaling of Breakwater Harbor, Cape Henlopen Area, Delaware Bay, 1842 to 1971
The sedimentary processes in the Breakwater Harbor-Cape Henlopen area were investigated. Toward this end, shoaling rates, changes in the pattern of shoaling with time, and shoreline changes were determined through bathymetric comparison, using survey data starting with the 1842 U.S. coastal survey map. In addition, information about modern conditions and processes in the study area were obtained through the determination of sediment distributions within the harbor and on the tidal flat, and by measurement of currents in two locations in the harbor. From the data thus obtained, the sedimentary processes responsible for the filling of the harbor and the effects of man-made structures on normal marine processes can be better understood. Therefore, data is presented for prediction of the future of Breakwater Harbor from a geologic viewpoint and for planning of the future of the harbor from a political-economical viewpoint.
