About this ebook
The Inner Continental Shelf of North Carolina between the South Carolina border and Cape Lookout was investigated to obtain information on bottom and subbottom sediment deposits and geologic structure. Primary survey coverage consists of 512 statute miles (824 kilometers) of high-resolution seismic reflection profiles and 124 cores ranging in length from 2 to 20 feet (0. 6 to 6. 1 meters). Sand suitable for restoration and nourishment of nearby beaches was located, described, and mapped for 27 potential offshore borrow sites. This sand occurs commonly in thin sheet deposits or as relict channel fill. However, extensive sand deposits exist in shoals off Cape Fear and Cape Lookout and in other low isolated shoals on the shelf floor and within the shoreface area. (Author).
