Dock and Pier Bibliography
As seen in this aerial photograph, the number of docks is growing throughout the coast.
As a result of the State of the Science workshop, the National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science (NCCOS) established a web-based bibliography of information on docks and piers.
The bibliography is searchable by author and title as well as the following keywords:
- vegetation, shading
- contaminants, pollution, CCA, water quality
- sediments, sedimentation
- recreation, boating, recreational uses, marinas, boating impacts, water craft, marinas
- navigation
- planning, public access, zoning, shoreline regulations
- construction, design
- visual impacts, VIA, visual assessment, aesthetics, quality of life, survey, perceptions, social science
The citations in the bibliography pertain to published literature and unpublished reports about various aspects of the biological, physical, chemical, ecological, and aesthetic impacts of small docks and piers. References were submitted by participants at the science workshop and others. The National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science Centers does not have copies of these articles.
