Offshore Sand Resources in Central Maryland Shoal Fields

Conkwright R and Williams C. 1996. Offshore Sand Resources in Central Maryland Shoal Fields. Location not listed

This report summarizes the fourth year investigations to detail sand resources within five of the eight shoals in Shoal Field II. The shoals are currently being considered as a sand source for beach restoration projects on Assateague Island, MD. We confined the study to five of the eight shoals, based on their resource potential determined during the 1993 Offshore Sand Resources Study.
