Littoral Movements of the New Jersey Coast, with Remarks on Beach Protection and Jetty Reaction
In a protracted study of the changes occurring at the various inlets on our alluvial coast, with a view to determine the resultant of the forces producing them, the author came to the conclusion that, whatever the cause, there was in many cases a determinate direction to the movement of littoral drift; that it was this drift which formed the most potent element in obstructing the navigable channels of inlets, and that but little aid could be obtained from the use of parallel or convergent jetting for removing bars by the scour from concentrated ebb currents.
