Abstract

The use of fluorescent coated sand In tracing the sand movement along beaches and around Inlets is an important tool in the field of Coastal Engineering. As a part of an extensive beach erosion study along the shore of West Palm Beach, Florida, four areas were subjected to such a "tracer study." Each area represented a particular beach configuration either with or without erosion protective structures. In this paper the procedure and results for one area is described. As a second application of sand tracers, the results of a study concerned with the sand migration in and around South Lake Worth Inlet is discussed.
