(1993). "Final Project Evaluation Report: Mad River Mouth Migration."
California Department of Transportation.
Addresses the geomorphological and hydrodynamics of the Humboldt
Bay littoral cell in general, and the reach coincident with the migration of
the mouth of the Mad River specifically. The purpose of the report was
to evaluate a project to limit the extent of the Mad River mouth
migration to the north using rock slope protection and a rock groin-like
structure.

Not reviewed. Follow-up to the 1993 project evaluation report. There
are a series of annual monitoring reports prepared by various authors:
J. C. Bulinski (1996), C. C. Fielder (1997, 1998). These reports are
listed in the final report as well as in Komar et al. (2000). These annual
reports are not included in this bibliography.

Dredged Material Disposal at the Interim Designated Humboldt Ocean Disposal
Site (SF-3)," Technical Report Series Telonicher Marine Laboratory TML-3,
Humboldt State University.
Sediment transport analysis of the Humboldt Bay dredge disposal site
(SF-3) used by the SPN for maintenance of Humboldt Bay channels (site
was located just offshore and south of the south jetty; new offshore
dredge disposal site now in place). Study investigated mounding
potential and sediment transport characteristics of formerly disposed
sediments. Collected site bathymetry, current data, and wave data at and
in vicinity of the site. Conclusions were sediments finer than 3.00 phi
(0.125 mm) do not remain at the site in appreciable quantities, sediments
courser than 2.50 phi (0.177 mm) generally remain at the site
temporarily, and represent 86 percent of the total dredge volume.

A pre- and post-dredging survey of benthic communities in the bay
(Entrance Bay and the channels leading to North Bay). Includes
sediment data (see Costa 1982).
