Do Stabilizers need to be placed along an entire shoreline?
Conventional groins, once placed on a shoreline, must generally be installed along the entire shoreline, every several hundred feet, to avoid creating downcurrent problems on untreated sections. A Stabilizer field usually consists of four units spaced about 125 apart, covering approximately 400 feet of coast. Because a single Stabilizer field generally benefits several thousand feet of shoreline or more, Stabilizer fields may be widely spaced along a coast.
