FIGURE 8. BEACH BEHIND OFFSHORE BREAKWATER, 1947 
ce The desire of local interests for public ownership 
of any additional beach area that can be provided. 
Preliminary analysis of available data indicate that the 
objectives desired by local interests can be accomplished by 
artificial placement of beach material. It will probably also 
be necessary to construct groins to retard the rate of loss of 
the artificially placed material. Further study is necessary to 
check the preliminary analysis, to determine the most practica- 
ble and economical source of artificial nourishment, to develop 
the best plan of improvement, and to determine the economic 
justification for the protection and improvement of the publicly- 
owned portions of the shore.
