Mesurement of tidal currents and theoretical studies on the effect of waves in a number of sectors have provided an estimate ( table 1) of maximum probable sediment transport values (Bonneville. Sternberg). These are quite high, and range from 27.7 to 0.65 kg/m/s. It is clear that small differences in maximum current velocity give rise to large differences in the mass transport value.
