One adaptation that some animals have to withstand crashing waves is the development of strong, flexible structures. For instance, certain species of sea stars and sea anemones have robust, muscular bodies that allow them to cling tightly to rocky surfaces, minimizing displacement by strong currents. Additionally, some marine organisms, like barnacles, have hard shells that protect them from physical impact while securely anchoring themselves to substrates. These adaptations help ensure their survival in turbulent coastal environments.
Sea walls work by acting as deflectors which help to break the force of incoming waves. The power of the waves is weakened before they make landfall and, by reducing the force of the sea in this way, sea walls help to protect the beaches, cliffs and harbours from erosion.
