Description
A groyne is a relatively long and narrow coastal defence structure, orientated at approximately right angles to the shoreline. Groynes are used to control the natural alongshore movement of beach material under the action of waves and tidal currents. This report provides guidance on the use and effectiveness of groynes to engineers involved in the planning or management of beaches and related coastal engineering works. The different types and functions of groynes are described together with the inshore environment with which groynes interact.
