The Inner Continental Shelf off the North Carolina coast between the South 

 Carolina border and Cape Lookout, North Carolina, was surveyed to obtain infor- 

 mation on bottom and subbottom sediment deposits and structures. The location 

 and the extent of deposits of sand suitable for restoration and nourishment of 

 nearby beaches were investigated. Primary survey coverage consisted of 824 

 kilometers (445 nautical miles) of seismic reflection survey and 139 cores rang- 

 ing in length from 0.6 to 6.1 meters (2 to 20 feet).
