Effects of beach remourishment on the benthic macrofauna and the fishes of the nearshore zone at Sebastian Inlet State Recreation Area
Approximately 100,000 cubic yards of sand was transported tothe ocean beach to renourish the eroded beach front during the periodDecember 1985 through May 1986.The ocean beach at Sebastian Inlet SRA was previously studied ina project examining the benthic macrofauna and the fishes of thenearshore zone during 1981-1982 (Allenbaugh, 1984; Peters, 1984;Nelson, unpublished). In view of the existing data, the US Army Corpsof Engineers provided funding to study the effects of the beachrenourishment activities at Sebastian Inlet SRA on the benthicmacrofauna and the fishes of the nearshore zone. This is the reporton the results of this study.
