Wimble Shoals Survey Final Report Wimble Shoals: An Exploration and Characterization of Submerged Cultural and Sediment Resources

This project represents a 1-year multidisciplinary study aimed at characterizing the maritime heritage resources and benthic habitat and bathymetry on Wimble Shoals with the goals of continuing to enhance our knowledge of their importance with respect to coastal processes affecting the marine ecosystem off Hatteras Island, while simultaneously looking to discover and classify cultural resources in the area, and seeking to understand the relationships between dynamic sediment areas, and the discovery and preservation of significant shipwreck sites.
