Here's an additional piece of information for you to consider:
Studies comparing rock and bulkheads indicate that rock is better for creatures than bulkheads. However, rock is not as good as natural marsh along the shoreline, marsh should be encouraged if possible. Marsh changes though, marshes can grow or recede and if you have a house or road and the marsh recedes, you have trouble, thats why people put rocks along the shoreline, to prevent their structures from falling into the water. Given a place like South Ocean Dr which gets a great deal of wave action, some sort of strong structure is needed to withstand the waves. It was thought, the rock would be more beneficial than the bulkhead. The rocks acan be places in such a way that the small beach will remain.
