Presentation transcript:

SEA DEFENSES : hard engineering Advantages Protects the base of cliffs, land and buildings against erosion. Can prevent coastal flooding in some areas. Disadvantages Expensive to build. Curved sea walls reflect the energy of the waves back to the sea. This means that the waves remain powerful. Over time the wall may begin to erode. The cost of maintenance is high.

Building groynes Advantages Prevents the movement of beach material along the coast by longshore drift. Allows the build up of a beach. Beaches are a natural defence against erosion and an attraction for tourists. Disadvantages Can be seen as unattractive. Costly to build and maintain

Rock armour or boulder barriers Advantages Absorb the energy of waves. Disadvantages Can be expensive to obtain and transport the boulders. Impact on the environment?
