20. ABSTRACT (Continue an reverse aide II necessary and Identity by block number) 



The Atlantic Inner Continental Shelf off central Florida was surveyed by 

 the Coastal Engineering Research Center to obtain information on morphology, 

 structure, and sediments of the seafloor bottom and shallow subbottom for use 

 in interpretation of Quaternary history and delineation of sand deposits suit- 

 able for restoration of nearby beaches. Basic survey data consists of 360 

 statute miles of high resolution seismic reflection profiling and 90 sediment 

 cores (10 to 20 feet long) collected in water depths of 25 to 90 feet below 

 sea level.
