September 29, 1992. In
this image, the east beach has advanced almost to the end of the east jetty,
while the west beach has receded severely. Part of the west beach is less than
20-30 m-wide. The east revetment within the inlet has deteriorated, accompanied
with erosion of east shore. Jetty repair has begun, and a barge containing rock
is moored in the east channel in Shinnecock Bay. In the flood shoal, the
exposed T-shaped sand bar has moved and changed shape. (Photograph by
