20. ABSTRACT (Xbnt£au« ant raveram afdfia ff rt^ireaaary and Identify by block number) 



About 1,235 square kilometers of the Inner Continental Shelf adjacent to 

 Cape May peninsula was investigated by a seismic reflection and coring survey 

 to obtain geologic information on sea floor and subbottom sand and gravel 

 deposits having suitable characteristics for use as fill in beach nourish- 

 ment and restoration projects. Water depths in the study area ranged from 

 about 1.5 to 21 meters. A total of 1,258 kilometers of seismic profiles and 

 104 vibratory cores, ranging in length from 1 to 3.7 meters, were examined.
