Date(s) Construction and Rehabilitation History 



1984 Two rubble-mound breakwaters (Figures 43 and 46) were constructed to 

 provide protection from wave damage for the fishing fleet operating 

 from East Point, Florida. The east and west breakwaters, 2,550 and 

 2,750 ft long, respectively, were placed parallel to, and 350 ft 

 seaward of, the existing channel. A 350-ft section of each break- 

 water, adjacent to the entrance channel, was placed at a 45-deg 

 angle (in the offshore direction) with respect to the rest of the 

 breakwater. The breakwater design section (Figure 46, inset) con- 

 sisted of a 1-ft min thickness of 1/2- to 4-in. bedding material 

 (approximately 3 ft thick by 15 ft wide on the channel side) and 

 overlaid with 65- to 1,000-lb cover stone (W^« = 300 lb) cover stone 



to +5 ft mlw, a 6-ft crown width, and 1V:1.5H side slopes. The 

 design of the breakwater followed SPM (1984) procedures with a maxi- 

 mum wave height (depth limiting) and period of 3.4 ft and 2.8 sec, 

 respectively. The estimated first cost of the breakwaters was 

 $2,483,000. 



1985 The structure was in excellent condition, and plans to extend its 

 length were being considered.
