I would think they might have a little to do with it since they affect the tides and that is what is bringing the sand back.

It was in from November 2003 until April 2004, and was taken out prior to turtle nesting season in 2004. As you remember we then had the hurricanes of 2004 and 2005 so any gain made by the strcutures were lost to the hurricanes. The overall gain was about 6,000 cubic yards of sand over 2,000 feet, which is not very much.
