Includes scope of study; history of Ocean City Inlet; sediment transport processes; field studies (tidal measurements, bathymetric survey, beach profiles and leveling; aerial photography, current data, Assateague Island beach profiles, sand tracer tests); office studies (past dredging requirements, inspection of aerial photographs, beach profiles, numerical models, interpretation of water and sand flow patterns); summary of salient factors related to the shoaling problem; and recommendations.
