This information allows sediment budgets to be calculated for the individual systems and assist in determining sediment/freshwater needs of coastal wetlands. Sediment budget data may also assist in developing new coastal or wetland restoration programs and any new policies and regulations for freshwater inflow to bays and estuaries.
