operating under such specialized conditions, the concept is entirely 

 feasible and well within the capabilities of the construction industry. 



Any site chosen for actual construction will differ from the site 

 conditions assumed for this study. However, a conservative approach 

 has been assumed in this study and the adjustments necessary to adapt 

 to actual conditions at a specific site should be minor. 



For a project of this magnitude, encompassing such variable condi- 

 tions, model studies are a necessity. Size, conformation, and 

 orientation of the breakwater and the general variables used in this 

 study can be confirmed by model studies and adjustments made as neces- 

 sary before starting final design efforts.
