The collection of all offshore tracer samples by SCUBA diving, and most 

 inshore sampling, were accomplished by Mr. Mark Lorang, assisted by 

 Mr. Shyuer-Ming Shih and Miss Kristin Komar, all graduate students at OSU. 

 The tedious process of drying the samples, weighing them, and then counting 

 the thousands of tracer grains was completed by Mr. Peter Ruggiero, graduate 

 student, OSU. I am grateful to these tireless workers for their contributions 

 to the successful completion of this undertaking. Dr. Nicholas C. Kraus, 

 Coastal Engineering Research Center (CERC), contributed descriptions of the 

 surf zone tracer experiments. The tracer experiments were conducted under a 

 contract with the U.S. Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station, CERC.
