Shore Protection

Shore protection involves measures to prevent erosion and damage to coastlines caused by waves, storms, and rising sea levels. It includes strategies like building seawalls, groynes, or placing rocks and sand to absorb wave energy and stabilize the shoreline. These techniques help preserve beaches, protect coastal properties, and maintain ecosystems. Proper shore protection balances human needs with environmental health, reducing the risk of land loss while allowing natural processes to continue where possible.
