Groins At The Gulf of Mexico, 1963

Scope and content:

The road to Captiva was threatened by erosion as it ran at water's edge along the Gulf of Mexico. Erosional forces increased in the 1920s with hurricane action, until much of the island had been eaten away. In the late 1980s beach renourishment was initiated to slow the problem.
