The survey was conducted by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Coastal Engineering Research Center (CERC) under the coastal processes program, in order to locate and delineate offshore sand and gravel deposits suitable for beach nourishment and restoration. The author of this book prepared the report with the assistance of Dr. David B. Duane and Dr. William R. James, under the general supervision of Mr. George M. Watts. The primary survey data consist of hundreds of statute miles of high-resolution seismic reflection surveys and almost two hundred sediment cores. The study found that the inner continental shelf in this area is a complex and dynamic environment, with a wide variety of sediment types and bedforms. The authors use these data to interpret the geologic history of the area and to identify potential sources of sand for beach nourishment. This book will be of interest to coastal geologists, engineers, and anyone interested in the management of coastal resources. It provides valuable insights into the processes that shape the coastlines of Florida and other sandy coastlines around the world.
