Design Objectives<br />
� Two (2) 50 meter sand filled geotextile tubes<br />
� 20 ft circumference (8 feet wide by 4 feet high)<br />
� sand-filled (260 cubic meters plus losses and anchor tubes)<br />
� Two (2) 52 meter X 5.4 m scour aprons<br />
� Double layer due to s<strong>of</strong>t foundation<br />
� Oriented to be perpendicular to <strong>in</strong>cident waves at 60<br />
degrees from magnetic north<br />
� Designed to encourage tombolo growth which will<br />
capture more sediment and mud to raise the <strong>for</strong>seshore:<br />
� proper elevation will promote revegetation<br />
� <strong>Breakwaters</strong> will reduce future storm energy<br />
� <strong>Breakwaters</strong> will reduce focus<strong>in</strong>g <strong>of</strong> reflected wave energy <strong>of</strong>f<br />
the seawall
