jetties help stop erosion
jetties are constructive forces
jetties
There are several types of jetties, including straight jetties, detached jetties, curved jetties, and spur jetties. Each type serves a different purpose, such as controlling sediment movement, protecting coastlines, or creating safe harbors for boats. Jetties are commonly constructed using rocks, concrete, or wood.
helps protect a beach!
These two terms are often used interchangeably to refer to the short, shore perpendicular structures that are built along a shoreline to hold sand in place. However, technically speaking, groins and jetties are not the same thing. Groins are the smaller shore perpendicular structures, built to trap sand and stabilize a sandy beach. Jetties are large structures typically used to stabilize inlet channels.
otters are commonly known to be seen on pier rocks and some like to live on jetties. so its more of the breed.
The plural of jetty is jetties.

Jetties are usually for the purpose of controlling erosion in inlets and rivers. They also serve the purpose of protecting harbors and river entrances from the ocean from heavy wave action and storm damage.

ocean groins are human-built structures put at a right angle to the shoreline to prevent the erosion, deposition and weathering of the shore. Jetties and breakwaters are also used for this reason. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:53sitges.jpg
