Text Appearing Before Image:
surrounding the FRF, these lines are located in a region of shore-parallel contours and are sufficiently removed from known pier effects (Miller, Birkemeier, and DeWall 1983). 5. The beach is composed of a mixture of quartz sand and carbonate shell debris. The carbonate component may be as high as 20 percent. Mean grain size is greatest on the foreshore where it approaches 1 mm, decreasing offshore to 0.1 mm. Sorting improves in an offshore direction. Figure 3 illustrates the cross-shore variation in sediment size distribution based on a series of samples taken along profile line 188 on 17 March 1982. 6. Storm conditions at the FRF are dominated by extratropical northeast- ers during the winter months and occasionally by tropical hurricanes. During the period of study, a number of significant storms occurred, although no major hurricanes passed the area.
