Building a barrier across a river estuary can cause many problems with the environment. for example, some rivers are home to rare species of fish and birds. Their habitat may be damaged in the process of building.
Also systems like this can cost lots of money to build and will require large investments from businesses who may not necessarily see the long-term benefits of this type of development.
