Potential Offshore Sand Resources in Southern Maryland Shoal Fields

Conkwright R and Gast R. Potential Offshore Sand Resources in Southern Maryland Shoal Fields. Location not listed

Assessment of potential sand resources in Federal waters will encourage both the development of new resources, and further restoration projects. Previous studies suggest that most usable sand deposits will occur within linear shoals on the inner continental shelf. A shoal field in waters off Assateague Island, containing eight linear shoals, was examined for potential sand resources.
