Integrated stratigraphic cross section combining line-drawn interpretation of seismic data, ground-truthed by coring, with a coastal cross section based on vibracores. Cores in the offshore transect have no cross-shelf correlation potential due to orientation and separation of ridge deposits, shown in side-scan sonar imagery and bathymetry data. This transect line indicates very little sediment offshore because most of the sediment volume in this coastal system resides in the barrier-island section. The natural geometry of the drumstick barrier has been significantly altered by development.
