Abstract
Quincy Bay is a complex backwater along the Mississippi River adjacent to the City of Quincy, Illinois. Hunting, fishing, and boating are common in the bay. Sediment accumulation in Quincy Bay has been a concern for many years. The change in water flow patterns and sediment deposition following the opening of a small boat access channel in the late 1960's has increased the concern. Local citizens have requested corrective action since 1975.
