A harbor is a sheltered part of a body of water deep enough to provide anchorage for ships or a place of refuge. Key features of all harbors include shelter from both long-and short period open ocean waves, easy safe access to the ocean in all types of weather, adequate depth and maneuvering room within the harbor, shelter from storm winds, and minimal navigation channel dredging.
The Coastal and Hydraulics Laboratory has conducted hundreds of studies to support harbor projects around the Nation. Through utilization of physical and numerical models, analytical studies, field inspections and monitoring programs, CHL serves as the expert resource for harbor related studies.
