20. ABSTRACT (CJazrt&ai* aa ravarma afda ft n a jce a aM ty aa^ idenliiy by block number) 



About 1800 square kilometers of the central New Jersey inner shelf between 

 Avalon and 7.5 kilometers north of Barnegat Inlet Vvas surveyed to assess and 

 quantify marine sand and gravel resources 6 meters below the sea floor. 

 The primary data consist of 1133 kilometers of high-resolution seismic reflec- 

 tion profiles, limited side-scan sonar coverage, and 97 vibracores, a maximum 

 of 6 meters long. Limits of the surveys were generally from about the -7-meter 

 depth contour seaward to about the -21-meter depth contour, a maximum of some 

 22 kilometers offshore. (continued)
