The beach fill and inlet sediment trap at Carolina Beach, North Carolina, were monitored under the Monitoring Canpleted Coastal Prefects Program. The objectives of the effort were the determination of the adequacy of the trap to serve as a primary source of beach nouristment material for the project and to assess the impact of the trap on the inlet’s ebb tide channel and delta. Considerable hydrographic and oueanographic data were collected and evaluated. Results of the monitoring program provided a critique of the project’s performance as well as guidance on the use of sediment traps in inlets.
