Description:The report focuses on the technical aspects of waterway management and provides a planning tool and decision options to stabilize channel conditions in order to avoid further deterioration of bay resources. A detailed, comparative analysis of water depth and boat draft relations provides a comprehensive overview of channel conditions and the geographic distribution and severity of waterway restrictions. Two planning options are illustrated: (1) normal low tide conditions and (2) below normal (winter Cold Front) conditions. Data for a third option is presented: (3) adjusting waterway maintenance standards to the variable draft capability of restricted boats. The approach presented in the report ensures a rational and objective method of waterway management.
