4 of the coastal defenses are:
Sea Wall: Concrete wall- lasts long, expensive, effective against storms and rising sea level.
Revetments: Wooden planks- cheap, ugly.
Groynes: Prevent Long Shore Drift, cause no sand longer across the beach, not effective against large storms.
Beach feeding: Sucking sand up from under sea and putting in on beach- looks natural, expensive, every 3 months.
Coastal defense schemes are protective measures implemented to safeguard Coastlines from erosion, flooding, and other natural hazards. These schemes can include seawalls, breakwaters, beach nourishment, and dune restoration, among other strategies, to mitigate the impact of sea-level rise and storm surges on coastal communities and infrastructure. The goal is to enhance resilience and sustainably manage coastal areas for the long term.
Controlling coastal cities was important for strategic geographical positioning, access to trade routes, and maritime resources like fish and seaweed. Coastal cities also served as hubs for transportation, communication, and defense, making them valuable assets for expanding empires or maintaining maritime dominance.
Barrier islands help protect the coast by absorbing wave energy during storms, reducing erosion of the mainland land and providing a buffer zone for coastal habitats. They act as a natural defense against storm surge and flooding, helping to maintain the stability and resilience of coastal ecosystems.

The Coastal Plain region is also known as the Atlantic Coastal Plain.
i am secretly pregnant so do not ask me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
On the coastal plains of North Carolina, the main industries are Agriculture and defense.
New Jersey and Delaware, primarily for coastal defense.
A sea defence is used to describe schemes which protect coastal areas from being flooded because of extreme waves or water levels. A coastal protection scheme is 'protecting' the coast from erosion and thereby protecting property/land etc which is near the coast
We need coastal defences because it helps block the waves from crashing into the cliffs and eroding it. It also prevents it from carrying too much sand away from beaches.
not quite sure bt chek on internet pages of google or summat :P x
The Germans took all kinds off guns from ships and defeated enemy to man the coastal defences, the 16 inch guns in some of them came from WW1 battleships.
As a territory of the UK, no Bermuda was not neutral. It was also a key base for the US in coastal defense of the SE.
come visit my website and register, when more people register, i will begin to reveal my schemes for both offense and defense. http://madden-ace.forum-motion.com/index.htm
