Progress in Management of Sediment Bypassing at Coastal Inlets
elevation is a sensitive factor for reducing wave activity in the inlet entrance channel
and prevent migration of tidal currents through the deposition basin.
Jetty spurs are auxiliary structures that have potential for protecting deposition
basins and reducing sediment movement towards the navigation channel located
seaward of the jetty tips. They also reduce sand bypassing at an inlet by diverting
sediment to locations away from the shadow of the jetty so that reversal of wave
direction will move sediment back to its source region.
