The end result will assist Norfolk District engineers with designing a jetty that will maximize the benefits within the alloted $3.6 million to design and build it for the residents Tangier, Va.

    For eroding island, engineers' efforts start with models

    Researchers are using wind, wave, turbidity data and more to understand the conditions in the Tangier Federal Navigation Channel and harbor. The resulting computer model will help determine what type and size of jetty will protect the waterway and harbor from wave attack, ultimately saving the local watermen tens of thousands of dollars in repair costs during storms.
