Description:Barren Island is one of many islands in the Chesapeake Bay that have diminished in size due to sea level rise and erosion (Figure 1) (Kearney, M.S. and J.C. Stevenson, 1991). Over the past several hundred years, erosion and overwash episodes induced by storm surge formed several small connections from the main body of the estuary into what is now known as the Honga River (Wray, 1995). These small tributary connections slowly grew under tidal forcing and currents and created an island chain that reached longitudinally from the central Chesapeake Bay region to the south.
