PREFACE 



This report is one of a continuing series which describes results of 

 the Inner Continental Shelf Sediment and Structure (ICONS) study. One 

 aspect of the ICONS study is locating and delineating offshore sand and 

 gravel deposits suitable for beach nourishment and restoration. The 

 work was carried out under the coastal processes program of the U.S. 

 Array Coastal Engineering Research Center (CERC) . 



The report was prepared by Edward P. Meisburger, a CERC geologist, 

 under the general supervision of Dr. David B. Duane, former Chief, 

 Geological Engineering Branch, and his successors. Dr. William R. 

 James and Mr. Ralph L. Rector. As part of the research program of 

 the Engineering Development Division, the ICONS study is under the 

 general supervision of Mr. George M. Watts, Chief of the Division. 

 The fieldwork (obtaining cores and seismic reflection records) was 

 carried out by Alpine Geophysical Associates, Inc., under Contract 

 No. DACW33-67-C-0071. 



Microfilm copy of the CERC seismic data used in this study is 

 stored at the National Solar and Terrestrial Geophysical Data Center 

 (NSTGDC) , Rockville, Maryland 20852. Vibratory cores collected during 

 the field survey program are in a repository at the University of Texas, 

 Arlington, Texas 76010. Requests for information relative to these 

 items should be directed to NSTGDC or the University of Texas.
