Abstract
This report provides a basic coastal data base to which reference can be made in the event of future development along the coasts of the east-central Arctic Islands. From the synthesis of coastal information presented, criteria required to evaluate the suitability of a marine terminal were drawn and a preliminary selection and assessment of potential marine transshipment terminals was made. One of the most important criteria not available for much of the Arctic was nearshore bathymetry. Consequently, it is strongly recommended that future coastal studies include nearshore surveys. From the study area, fourteen sites are recommended as potential marine transshipment terminals or staging areas .... Selection of the sites was made primarily from a geologic and geomorphic standpoint. ... In many cases the assessment of the sites was based on very little quantitative information and therefore detailed field observations are recommendedshould one of the sites be chosen for further study.
