13. ABSTRACT (Maximum 200 words) 
The U.S. Army Engineer District, New York, is constructing Section I-Sea Bright to Ocean Township, New Jersey, of the 
Atlantic Coast of New Jersey — Sandy Hook to Barnegat Inlet Beach Erosion Control Project. Within the initial portion of 
this project, a zone of accelerated shoreline erosion has developed near the southern boundary of Monmouth Beach, New 
Jersey. This report identifies sediment transport processes contributing to the accelerated erosion at Monmouth Beach by 
evaluating four hypotheses presented to explain the high erosion rate. Conceptual engineering actions to mitigate the high 
erosion rates are recommended for further investigation.
