Failures of high groins and vertical bulkheads as coast pro- 

 tection works are discussed. Proper methods of design and construction 

 of low groins which have proved successful and their application to 

 construction in New Jersey and Long Island are presented.

As part of the Coney Island Improvement project during the early 

 1920 's a system of high impermeable groins was constructed. The groins 

 were not designed to accumulate sand but rather to retain the sand 

 which was pumped between them, to reduce scour by confining the sand 

 between the high barriers, and to break up the sea in time of storm.
