A historical synopsis written at this time (which did not describe the condition of the jetties) stated that "the structure has served the purpose for which it was originally ; Repairs were made to the north revetment in 1948. 1983 At the shoreward end of the north jetty, a 1,200-ft-long section was made sand tight in conjunction with beach renourishment north of the jetty. The modification required raising the crest elevation, rebuilding damaged sections, and chinking voids with small stone (no details). This modification would inhibit the loss of sand placed adjacent to the jetty during, and subsequent to, beach nourishment. The cost of the modifications was $608,000. 1985 Presently a 38-ft-deep by 400-ft-wide channel is maintained between the jetties. Except for the sand-tightened portion (1983), the jetties have not been repaired since 1934 and, although in poor con- dition, are still functioning Figure 37. Miami Harbor, Florida 68.
