Impact of the rubblemound breakwater at Goderich Harbour on coastal and fluvial processes / by Craig T. Bishop and Phil Zrymiak.: En13-5/90-121E-PDF

"An environmental monitoring program has been conducted at Goderich Harbour for four years to assess the impacts of a new rubblemound breakwater on local coastal and fluvial processes. Hydrographic surveys were carried out to determine changes in water depth and in sediment erosion/deposition patterns. Bed material surveys were carried out to identify initial conditions and to document changes. Results from 1984 to 1988 indicate no adverse environmental impacts due to the new breakwater. However, significant subsidence of the lake bottom in the vicinity of the harbour is taking place as a result of subsurface salt mining activity"--Abstract, page ii.
