| Summary: | accretion, with a net gain of shoreline. The unprotected beach in front of the seawall eroded almost completely away. confined to the eastern section of the area. Large accretion East Beach showed a net accretion pattern, with erosion fluctuating between erosion and accretion. Island using a numerical model simulation. The model only largely due to the shoreline erosion found at San Luis Pass. simulated changes due to waves creating longshore currents. The majority of West Beach was frequently unstable, The shoreline changes, deposition patterns, and longshore to west. The groin field fluctuated with erosion and transport rates were calculated for the coast of Galveston was found near the first groin indicating transport from east West Beach had a net loss of shoreline overall.
