Beach Fill and Sediment Trap at Carolina Beach, North Carolina

Abstract

The beach fill and inlet sediment trap at Carolina Beach, North Carolina, were monitored under the Monitoring Completed Coastal Projects Program. The objectives of the effort were the determination of the adequacy of the trap to serve as a primary source of beach nourishment material for the project and to assess the impact of the trap on the inlet's ebb tide channel and delta. Considerable hydrographic and oceanographic data were collected and evaluated. Results of the monitoring program provided a critique of the project's performance as well as guidance on the use of sediment traps in inlets.
