The core must have been added when the new jetty was built, but you are missing my point: There was no core when the waves were good.
Worm rock? You are going to attach worm rock to the jetty? I am seriously missing something here, can you post a direct link to your site? ------------------------- I was right. Edited: 08/26/2016 at 05:36 AM by Cole |

The jetty is deftly lacking Phragmatopoma caudata AKA worm rock.
more of this between the pilings would help create the bounce.

Outstanding. Now we are going to mine some environmentally essential substrate so we can stick it under the jetty. But everyone complains (rightfully so) when they propose to cover it up for a beach nourishment. Makes no sense. Pipe dream is right.

The inlet is within worm reef habitat, yet is doesn't flourish there.
Is it salinity sensitive? ------------------------- I was right. |

Tip or someone else who has also spent a lot of time there can confirm. ------------------------- QOP = Terrorists FK = Gay |

I remember some too and I think there is still a little on the bases of the pilings, but there must be some reason it's not more prevalent.

It's already there and doesn't grow, that's the point.
And where is the concrete support you were going on about. I looked on Sunday and it's rocks...just like it's always been. Come on man, seriously, are you joking with us? ------------------------- I was right. |

The First Peak Foundation, Inc.
It takes the IRS a few months to update the online verification database which feeds down to all other charity types searches and websites. Waiting for the determination was long enough, their database update can happen when it happens.
We're also 501c3 verified through Paypal. It's all legit.
Make sure you fully understand tax deductions and how they connect with the standard deduction before donating if this really bugs you.

Just making sure the money goes where it is supposed to go.
Everyone should research before they donate. There are a ton of scams out there. ------------------------- I was right. |

Cole, I feel like the discussion kind of moved away from your questions about the "core" under the jetty. I think you may be thinking that "core" means solid concrete, but in this case it's actually the rock that is piled in between the old jetty legs for the length of the structure. That stuff has always been there and I have watched many folks over the years walk along it at low tide (both before and after the new jetty construction).
Seems like the biggest challenge with the worm rock idea is the gap that's there to fill between the new pier pilings. The old pier pilings sat relatively close to the "core" rock that was directly behind them. As a result, the worm rock could attach to the surface of the rocks and grow outward as well as the pier pilings on either side of what used to be much smaller gaps.
With the new outer pier pilings, the worm rock really only has their vertical concrete surface to hang onto. It has to grow side-to-side and then quite a ways backward to completely fill the gap and still have solid support that was available in the original jetty's configuration.
The photo below (from firstpeak.org) illustrates all of the above. You can see the new pilings in the foreground, old pilings in the background, and rock "core" directly behind them.

Great photo! Ladies and gentlemen, want to know where the wedge at first peak went? Here's your answer: It's stuck here, in between the new and old pilings!

FPP was saying it's a solid core, I knew it was rocks. I walked them at low tide looking for lures when I was a kid. The new jetty was built over the old one, the middle is still the same rocks that have always been there.
