In the 117 years in which protective works have been applied to 

 Presque Isle Peninsula there have been many types of structures and 

 many methods of protection attempted. The large forces involved 

 proved too great for vegetal growth alone to be effective in the 

 porous material which forms the peninsula. Timber structures other 

 than the rock-filled crib groins have had short life. Bulkheads 

 exposed to the direct action of the waves have required frequent 

 and expensive repairs. As demonstrated by the impoundment at the 

 privately owned Kelso groin at the junction of the peninsula and 

 the mainland, and at experimental groins, a spending beach gives 

 best results. The problem is the method to be used in forming the 

 beach.
