New dredge-disposal techniques may serve the dual role of aiding sand by- 

 passing across coastal inlets, and beach nourishment, provided the dredged sedi- 

 ments placed seaward of the surf zone move shoreward into that zone. During the 

 summer of 1976, 26,750 cubic meters of relatively coarse sediment was dredged 

 from New River Inlet, North Carolina, moved downcoast by a split-hull barge, and 

 placed in a 215-meter coastal reach between the 2- and 4-meter depth contours. 

 Bathymetric changes on the disposal piles and in the adjacent beach and nearshore 

 area were studied for a 13-week period (August to November 1976) to determine the
