192. Richard Eaton has pointed out that between 1930 and 1950, beach nourishment was 

 also used to help restore eroded beaches along sections of tlie southern California 

 coast. During this period, however, the positive effect of tliis action on the downdrift 

 beaches was largely a byproduct of projects undertaken for otlier purposes . 



Eaton participated in many of these operations and thus brought this experience 

 with him when he rejoined the BEB staff in Jan. 1951. 



193. Conversations with George M. Watts were most helpful in regard to the subjects of 

 beach nourishment and sand bypassing.
