"Construction and Maintenance of the Public 3610GR0002 



Beach at Rockaway Beach, Borough of Queens" 

 Steiner, C. T. , The Municipal Engineers 

 Journal , Paper 181, Oct., 1936, pp. 107-122. 

 (V.F. 3079) 



To preserve the beach at Rockaway, it was realized that a 

 comprehensive system of defense was necessary. Information gained 

 from studies of the beach indicated that groins should be spaced 

 about the same distance apart as their lengths, and a beach with 

 about one-half this length could be maintained. Construction and 

 design, cost, and success of groins as well as other protective struc- 

 tures are discussed.
