Abstract
The movement of sand. in the swash-zone south of the
head of Monterey Canyon was studle'1' during February and
March, 1966. A stationary sampler was designed and used in
conjunction' with dyed fluo_rescent sands to trace the rate and
direction of natural sand movement. A sequential multiple
linear regression program was used to statistically analyze the
ยท-
effects of this canyon and several other environmental parameters
on the movement of beach sand. In all observations
made, the sand was found to move toward the canyon head.
The canyon also appears to be a major factor affecting the
rate of beach sand drift.
