NEARSHORE BATHYMETRY SURVEYS were conducted in Cape Cod Bay,
near Truro, MA (a few miles south of Provincetown).
The nearshore morphology
between Truro and the Pamet Harbor entrance, 8 km to the south, includes areas
with 6-10 shore-parallel sand bars, a section where the sandbars are
disappearing ('unbarred zone'), sets of bifurcating bars, a group of
cross-hatched bars, sections with shore-oblique bars, and areas with no bars.
