Figure 3-51. Goldsmith Inlet median grain-size distribution of surface samples,
8 October 2002 and 31 July 2003
Table 3-3 lists the median grain sizes found at Profiles 59 and 60 from the New York
District (1969) study. Profile 59 is located approximately 200 ft west of Goldsmith Inlet
and Profile 60 is approximately 500 ft east of Goldsmith Inlet. The profile locations are
shown in Figure 3-52. The 1969 study indicates that sediment grain size west of
Mattituck and Goldsmith Inlet is consistently larger than the grain sizes found east of the
inlet.
