from each of the "reservoirs" or inlet morphologic features for bypassing and beach nourishment. In
the case of Sebastian Inlet, model simulations indicate that sand bypassing from an interior sand trap
has slowed the growth of the flood shoal, and has produced minimal impact on growth of the ebb
shoal.
