The Wax Lake Outlet and Lower Atchafalaya River deltas in Louisiana have grown dramatically. Concern for the impact of this growth has led the US Army Corps of Engineers to conduct an investigation to predict how the deltas will evolve over the next 50 years and to determine the impacts of thar growth on navigation, flood control, salinity, and sedimentation. Within this series of reports, this section documents the data collected fo use in development and verification of numerical models to predict the effects of the Avoca Island Extension and delta evolution on circulation, sediment supply, and salinity in the western Terrebonne marshes. This report presents representative results of the data collection program in this area from 1983 to 1986 and describes the equipment and procedures used in the data acquisition.
