II-C -'Sand Movement Study at Long Branch, New Jersey" 



Summary of a report on actual field tests to determine 

 feasibility of using material dredged by hopper dredges 

 from coastal harbors to nourish nearby beaches. About 

 600,000 cubic yards of material dumped offshore from 

 Long Brainch, N. J. was studied to trace its movement. 

 About 125,000 cubic yards of this material was eroded 

 from the dumped pile between April and October 1948, 

 but there was no indication of this material having 

 moved shoreward in significant quantity to nourish the 

 beach. 



II-D "Surveying in Haze and Fog" 



A mercury vapor lamp installed on the hydrographic survey 

 vessel utilized by the Field Research Group of the Board's 

 staff increased its visibility from shore by 50 to 75 per- 

 cent when operating in haze and fog off the Southern 

 California coast. Survey time lost due to haze and fog 

 was estimated to have been reduced by 50 percent during 

 operation extending over a several months period.
