Abstract
This report deals with the physical environment of coastal zones that could be affected by possible slicks originating in the Southern Davis Strait area .... The basic objective of the study was to provide reconnaissance maps of the coastal environment of southeastern Baffin Island, Ungava Bay and northern Labrador at a scale of 1:250,000 together with summary maps at 1:1,000,000. ... The morphology and sediment characteristics of the beach and the intertidal zone were the primary features to be mapped. This information and other limited data in the literature were then used to provide an evaluation of areas of sensitivity and an assessment of access from the sea to such areas. Since sea ice is present along the coast, or offshore, ... an analysis of its growth and decay was also undertaken.
