What do groins do?
Groins prevent longshore drift from touching the beach as a part of the many ways that people can prevent beach erosion.
What are ocean groins?
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
What is the difference between a jetty and a groyne?
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.
What coastal structures are designed to keep tidal inlets from shifting location or filling with sand?
Coastal structures designed to maintain the position of tidal inlets and prevent them from filling with sand include jetties and groins. Jetties are built at the entrance of inlets to stabilize the channel and protect it from sediment accumulation, while groins are constructed along the shoreline to interrupt sediment transport and reduce erosion. Together, these structures help manage tidal flow and sediment dynamics, ensuring the functional integrity of inlets.
How many groins to you have?
I do not have a physical body, so I do not have any groins.
How can a barrier island become a peninsula?
A barrier island can become a peninsula through natural processes such as sediment deposition or human activities like dredging and construction of jetties or groins that connect the island to the mainland. This can cause the barrier island to lose its separation from the mainland and become a peninsula.
What are women's groins called?
The anatomical term for women's groins is the pubic region or inguinal area.
Do walrus have groins?

What are sea groins?

How can you whiten dark groins?
You get darkened groins when the skin rubs together and causes fricton so the only solution is to stop the rubbing by loosing weight :D
