storm of 2 March 1969 at profile line 5 and a shoreline recession of 30.18 

 meters during the 25 February 1968 storm at profile line 7. Storm changes 

 (Fig. 30) indicate no clear correlation between shoreline recession and 

 erosion, as might be expected. For example, during the 2 March 1969 storm, 

 the average shoreline accreted 6.99 meters, whereas the average above MSL unit 

 volume eroded 11.01 cubic meters per meter. However, profile line 2 shows the 

 most critical erosion, as shown in Figures 36, 37, and 38. 



Major beach-fill projects were completed in 1963 and 1970, introducing 

 approximately 428,000 and 635,000 cubic meters of fill material, respectively, 

 to the northern end of the study area (see Fig. 31). These fills were reason- 

 ably successful in nourishing the beach, as shown in Figure 33. 



Seasonal changes are indicated with a maximum volume of sand above MSL 

 from May through October (Fig. 45). The net volume change above MSL along the 

 beach, disregarding the 1970 beach fill, is near zero. Although the beach, as 

 a whole, experienced a near zero net change during the period 1963-69, there 

 was a shift of beach storage volume from the 1963 fill site on the northern 

 end of the study area toward the southwest, along the beach (Fig. 33). This 

 shift of beach volume was expected with time and resulted in an effective 

 beach-fill project. 



In conclusion, this study was extremely valuable for the quantitative 

 determination of some of the shore processes taking place at Atlantic City as 

 well as to indicate how such studies may be accomplished more effectively and 

 efficiently in the future.
