Coastal Management: Sea Wall



  • Hard Engineering
  • Deflect wave energy - storm waves are deflected

Pros
Cons
Highly Effective
Provides walkway for tourists
Aesthetically unattractive
Very Expensive
Where cliffs are prone to slumping landslides can cover the wall
Stronger backwash which can worsen longshore drift
