Coastal Jetties Rob Sand from Peter to Pay Paul
- "The construction of the Sebastian Inlet jetties at the southern boundary of the county caused shoreline buildup north of the inlet for a distance of about 4 miles, and retreat of the beaches for approximately 4 miles south of the inlet... This condition can be observed at inlets all along Florida's east coast." - excerpt from the book, Living with Florida's Atlantic Beaches, edited by Orrin H. Pilkey and William J. Neal, Duke University Press, 2004, pg. 182.
