abstract

  • Recession greatly accelerated by interruption of the net S littoral drift since construction of the Ocean City inlet jetties in 1934-1935. The barrier island has responded to this sediment deficiency by forming a concaval shoreline configuration and has migrated very rapidly landward along the N end.-from STAR, 22(22), 1984
