By collecting cross-island and nearshore profiles and sediment samples, an erosion control study of the northern Assateague Island area was developed. Comparisons were made with the profile data collected in 1965 and 1979. The Field Research Facility's Interactive Survey Reduction Program (Birkemeier 1984) was used to edit, list, and plot the profile data. The 104 sediment samples were analyzed using standard sieve analysis techniques, and listings and plots of the size distributions are given. These plots show large and interesting changes which have occurred within the study area. Extensive growth of Ocean City Inlet's ebb tidal delta between 1965 and 1979 is clearly indicated. South of the inlet, the island shows wholesale transgression of the entire profile, while further south the contour remains relatively stable.
