Abstract
Given new management objectives for Sandy Hook, decisions are required to either alter the existing protective structures to fit the land use need or alter the land use to fit the characteristics of present structural control. Because the latter cannot be effectively studied until the geologic conditions are understood, this paper focuses on the effects of protective structures on the adjacent beach forms and sediment flows. A segment has been selected for detailed analysis because it has experienced considerable shoreline change resulting from the effects of groins. It is suggested that the effects of these groins can be identified using standard geologic tools and that the output from this analysis will provide the necessary information for the selection of the most appropriate land uses.
