English term or phrase: bulkheads and piers
Constructed in 1869, Saugerties Lighthouse is Hudson River's oldest surviving lighthouse and has withstood repeated storms, but Tropical Storm Lee's and Hurricane Irene's flooding and a 12-foot storm surge damaged the lighthouse's 150-year-old **bulkheads and piers,** sending waves as high as the historic site's front doors.

paratie e pilastri


Explanation:
La paratia in nautica ha un significato diverso rispetto a quello legato all'edilizia. In edilizia:

Paratia
EDIL Sorta di parete verticale di legno, di ferro, di cemento, posta a sbarramento di acque correnti per tenere asciutto il terreno in cui si apprestano le fondazioni
https://dizionari.repubblica.it/Italiano/P/paratia.html


Il termine "pier" ha un duplice significato:
molo, banchina, pontile
o anche
pilastro

Trattandosi di un faro (e leggendo il contesto) direi che si tratta di "pilastro".


Pier(architecture)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pier_(architecture)

pagina corrispondente italiana
Pilastro
Il pilastro è un piedritto, ovvero un elemento architettonico verticale portante, che trasferisce i carichi della sovrastruttura alle strutture sottostanti preposte a riceverlo
