Great explanation, thanks!
Another great video! Thanks for teaching the history of something most people (including myself) really don't think about.
I did a ton of fishing off of the ones on Bolivar, back in the 80s and 90s.
We always called them jetties.
I bet you've got a video about that cool old bunker out there on Bolivar too, huh. If not, you should.
Howdy! Thanks for watching!
Here’s a video on the jetties themselves:Exploring Galveston's Historic Jetties

Hey! I remember when you were in the Beach Patrol. It always made me feel safe! AND, thank you for answering my question from the previous episode.
Most, if not all barrier islands are younger than 8/10 thousand years old. They started forming after sea level stopped raising after the last glacial maximum
It's amazing how you can put so much info in a short video ! Great job! really enjoy your videos 😊
It’s hard work, but someone’s gotta do it!
Thanks!!
Great stuff, as always! Love to see high-quality vids coming out of Galveston!

Good flounder in them rocks
I love the history but the background music is a bit distracting this time.
OK Mr. Shaw, well done. But can you explain the evolution of the sandbars in Galveston, and the currents around the rock piers?
Probably not
Thank you for watching!!!
I grew up in and around Galveston. I am 62 years old, I Have fished the jetties countless times. Not once, In 62 years have I EVER heard them referred to as anything other than "The Jetties" Not one time have I ever heard them referred to as "Groins" or "Piers" People in Texas know the difference between a Jetty and a Pier. And would NEVER confuse the two.
😂😂😂
Murdocks!
They're called jetties
