2006
Rusnak, Gene A. | Stockman, Kenneth W. | Hofmann, Hermann A.
The primary objective of the present study was to investigate the role of natural shell replenishment as a contributing element in the nourishment of beach material along the beach and nearshore area lying between Lake Worth Inlet and the Miami Ship Channel. In particular, it was important to determine the kind and amount of shell being contributed to this area. It was not known whether the shell material contributed is largely, or only in part, eroded outcrop from the Anastasia and related formations or whether it is mostly fresh shell contributed annually to the local supply.
