Federal Inlets Database
2002
Carr, Erica E. | Kraus, Nicholas C.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Coastal Inlets Research Program (CIRP) is developing a database of Federal Inlets to consolidate inlet characteristics and statistics in a conveniently accessible form and to identify information gaps. The Federal Inlets Database covers 153 inlets and entrances in the continental United States and Alaska that are Federally maintained, and it is a detailed subset of a larger database being compiled for more than 500 inlets of the United States. This paper describes the background of the Federal Inlets Database and its content. It also identifies selected research areas being pursued by the CIRP in completing and expanding the database. This paper introduces the Federal Inlets Database as a coastal engineering resource, and it requests assistance from the coastal engineering community to complete the database by providing local and unpublished knowledge of specific inlets in the United States.
