An inspection of the jetties indicated that the seaward end of the
west jetty had undergone some settlement. On the east jetty a low
saddle allowed waves to overtop the structure, and subsequent ero-
sion on the landward side threatened to create a continuous channel
from Gulf to Bay. In addition, low sections on the jetty extensions
allowed incoming waves to overtop them, with continued erosion of
the shoreline behind the extensions. It was concluded that, as ori-
ginally constructed (800
the jetties were spaced too far apart

t . For this reason, wave attack on the shore landward of
the jetty wings was severe, and the shoreline receded rapidly which
in turn required extensions of the jetties to halt the erosion and
the potential for flanking of the jetties.
1948
Repair work and landward extensions of 300 and 360 ft on the east
and west jetty wings, respectively, were made at a total cost of
3,000. The design cross section was identical to that of the
1942 extension. Also, Congress authorized a 34-ft-deep (5 ft
deeper) by 450-ft-wide channel between the jetties (this depth was
being maintained as early as 1956).
Repairs were made to the jetties with 1,980 tons of stone placed at
1951
a cost of ,000.
The west jetty extended approximately 600 ft on its landward end

with 410 and 7,330 tons of riprap and cover stone, respectively, at
a total cost of ,300. At this time the cumulative lengths of
the east and west jetties were approximately 2,000 and 2,750 ft,
respectively.
Minor repairs consisted of placing 631 tons of stone, and 960 tons
of stone were stockpiled. Total cost was ,300.
