A groyne is a type of breakwater or jetty, which projects from the shore of a coast or river to block the movement of sediment. In rivers, they are called "wing dams" or spur dykes, and channel water into a faster-moving channel, usually in the center of the river.
Groynes are used along beaches to prevent the removal of sand, or conversely to prevent the deposition of sandbars along shore.
