vibracores were taken in connection with the 1985 renourishment 

 of Carolina Beach and were not part of the monitoring program. 



34. Two tide gages were installed in April 1981, one on the Center 

 Fishing Pier, located just south of Carolina Beach, and the other at Carolina 

 Inlet Marina, located at the confluence of Carolina Beach Inlet and the AIWW. 

 Except for small breaks in the record and the loss of the Center Fishing Pier 

 gage during Hurricane Diana, these gages provided continuous tide records 

 during the monitoring period. Normal tide range at Carolina Beach is 4 ft. 



35. A wave gage was planned for the Center Fishing Pier and was to be 

 supplemented by wave direction observations made daily. Unfortunately, an ob- 

 server could not be located, so the observations were not made. 



36. The wave gage was installed on the pier in June 1981, and telephone 

 hookup to the CERC Field Research Facility in Duck, North Carolina, was made 

 on 8 August 1981. The gage operated until late February 1982 when the trans- 

 ducer failed. After repairs were made in mid-May, it operated for 2 months 

 until it suffered another transducer failure. Storms during the winter of 

 1982-1983 and lightning in May 1983 repeatedly damaged the gage, resulting in 

 a decision to abandon the installation.
