This project addressed the specific contributions of shore erosion and nearshore resuspension to nearshore turbidity. The work was performed in a tributary system of the Chesapeake Bay, the Choptank River. This tributary exhibits a range of geomorphic characteristics that are common to many of the other tributaries of the Bay as well as the mainstem Bay itself: 1) a broad embayed mouth region where the fetch is large, the water is deep and many reaches of the shore are very exposed; 2) a narrower brackish tidal reach where fetch is more restricted but tidal velocities are enhanced; and, 3) a progressively narrowing upstream portion where fluvial influences are more dominant. The work focused specifically on an exposed headland in the mouth region where rapid shore erosion is an ongoing problem, Todds Point.
