The sea defenses at Mappleton in the UK were built in 1991 as a response to coastal erosion threatening the village and its farmland. The defenses consist of rock groynes and a mass concrete seawall to protect the coastline from erosion by the North Sea.
The sea defences consist of Rip Rap(rock armour); sea wall; revetments; Gabions; holes in pavement; Groynes; offshore breakwater and beach seeding.
It may fall into the sea, but the likelihood is that the sea defenses will be maintained adequately.
you need sea defenses to keep unwanted vessels (boats, submarines, etc.) out.
there has been a sea wall built out to sea, but this has increased erosion ferther down the coast.
Groynes, columns of boulders and sea walls are the most popular ones. sea walls are the most expensive, costing about 700,000 pounds per metre!
it was an integral part of the sea defenses devised by his predecessor, King Joao II.
