The Scope of the Report is divided into three major components:
• INLET CHARACTER AND DYNAMICS—Section 2 provides an understanding of the physical dynamics of tidal inlet systems, which include Ocean side and Bay-Lagoon side tidal deltas as well as the inlet or tidal throat itself.
• PLANNING—Section 3 focuses on planning considerations, such as oil transport and operational opportunities and constraints.
• RESPONSE—Section 4 describes generic response strategies, provides a guide for the selection of tactical options, and presents the special requirements and limitations of tactics and associated equipment, which may be feasible for operation in the unique tidal inlet environment.
