Absecon Inlet has been maintained by the Federal Government since 1910. Groin construction along the ocean frontage of Atlantic City, funded jointly by the City and State, began in 1928; 12 groins and 1 jetty were built between Absecon Inlet and Illinois Avenue.

. Beach changes at Atlantic City, New Jersey (1962-73). Beach erosion; Coast changes. Figure 2. Bathymetry off Absecon Island. less than 46,000 metric tons. Absecon Inlet has been maintained by the Federal Government since 1910. Groin construction along the ocean frontage of Atlantic City, funded jointly by the City and State, began in 1928; 12 groins and 1 jetty were built between Absecon Inlet and Illinois Avenue. Eight of these groins and the jetty are still in existence, as shown in Figure 3 and in Table 1 which lists the coastal structures at Atlantic City. Other major structures (see Table 1 and Fig. 3) include the Boardwalk, which extends along the entire length of the ocean and inlet frontage, and five piers. Some of these structures are shown in Figure 4. The only beach-fill project before 1962 consisted of about 816,000 cubic meters of material placed along the ocean frontage in 1948. However, an off- shore sand-dumping test was conducted from 1935 to 1943 in which million cubic meters was dumped into 5 to 6 meters of water southwest of Steel Pier which resulted in no measurable benefit to the shoreline (Yasso and Ilartman, 1975). Approximately 428,000 cubic meters of sand was placed between Oriental and Virginia Avenues between February and May 1963. During the summer of 1970, approximately 635,000 cubic meters of fill was dumped along the beaches 11.
