What Problems Do Jetties Cause??
Artificial structures such as seawalls and jetties can have adverse effects on the coastal environment. Due to their perpendicular-to-shore placement, jetties can disturb longshore drift and cause downdrift erosion (As a mitigating action, sand building up along the jetties can be redistributed elsewhere on the shore.)
What is the cons of a jetty?
Cons: It promotes erosion on the side of the jetty that is hit by the waves. It promotes the build up of sediments and waste on the side of the jetty that hides from the wave. Requiring manual clean up and removal of waste.
