PREFACE 



This report is one of a series describing the results of the U.S. Army- 

 Coastal Engineering Research Center (CERC) Beach Evaluation Program (BEP) . 

 One aspect of the program, and the subject of this report, is to provide 

 basic engineering information on changes in the volume of sand on beaches 

 above mean sea level, and on changes in shoreline position, as obtained from 

 long-term beach survey projects. The work was carried out under the CERC 

 coastal process research program. 



Craig H. Everts, Chief, Engineering Geology Branch, prepared the report 

 with the assistance of Allan E. DeWall and Martin T. Czerniak, under the 

 general supervision of C.J. Calvin, former Chief of Coastal Processes Branch, 

 CERC. 



Over the 10-year study interval, principal investigators were J.M. Darling, 

 C.J. Calvin, C.H. Everts, and A.E. DeWall. The U.S. Army Engineer District, 

 Philadelphia, performed all survey work except for a period in 1963 and 1964 

 when it was contracted to Mauzy, Morrow § Associates of Lakewood, New Jersey. 

 Visual wave data were provided by H. Wright of Sea Isle City. An analysis of 

 20 sequential sets of vertical aerial photos was made for the Philadelphia 

 District in conjunction with another study on Ludlam Beach. The results of 

 that study are included in this report. 



L.M. Atkinson, C. Jones, J. Moore, D. Fresch, E.A. Kohler, W.Y. Der, 

 C.F. Thomas, and J.L. Miller assisted in data reduction. M.V. Fleming, 

 T.J. Lawler, J. Buchanan, L.M. Atkinson, W.N. Seelig, D. Mowrey, and B. Sims 

 were responsible for computer programing. P. Pritchett processed and analyzed 

 much of the visual wave data. D.C. Wilson assisted in the aerial photo analysis
