well, normally around 100 years. That is what they are meant to last for, but if on a larger scale, then could be longer xx
Sea walls are a form of hard engineering coastal protection. A man made wall structures built on or near the shoreline with the purpose of absorbing storm wave energy to protect the land or an area of water behind the wall from erosion. However, a seawall may not protect a coast from erosion in the long run. As waves break against the seawalls, the energy from the waves is redirected downwards, to the base of the seawall, causing it to weaken and eventually collapse. Hence, seawalls have to be carefully maintained. It is also expensive to build seawalls. In England it can cost $3 million to build a one kilometre stretch of seawall. Whoop de-do it costs so much more in Australia! For a wall 100m long it costs over $400 000AUS. The thing with some rock and sea walls is that they can also be built on the beach to raise residential and commercial housing as the early quote stated to protect them. Unfortunately with this strategy the sand needs replenishing and this costs in the millions to support vasts projects like this.
The average elevation above sea level in Long Beach, California is approximately 13 feet.
Deep inlets out by the sea into the Scottish coast are called sea lochs. They are typically long, narrow bodies of water that are surrounded by steep cliffs or mountains.
A fjord is the long, narrow sea inlet formed by the submergence of a glacially-carved valley. Fjords typically have steep cliffs along their sides and are found in regions where glaciers have sculpted the landscape.
asia, i searched for the answer for a long time, and found out
Holland uses dikes to hold back the sea.
Sea salt does not expire and can last indefinitely if stored in a cool, dry place.
If properly done, retaining walls that are reinforced using geotextiles are built for permanent purpose. bit.ly/1vXqpuu

About 400 kilometres.
about 120 years (which is very long compared to other methods of sea defences.)
By waves smashing against the sea walls
Sea moss can last up to 4-6 weeks in a sealed jar in the refrigerator before it expires.
Sea moss typically lasts for about one year before it expires.
The two great ramparts that protected the roadway from Athens to the sea were known as the Long Walls. They were fortifications that protected the city from invaders.
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!
