These gates can be used to keep the tide out of the pool behind them if heavy rain is forecast. That way the rain can fill the pool and help prevent flooding.
There were gates that were used to sluice the channel to keep the harbor accessible, but the harbor walls have degraded such that sluicing would destroy them.
