Long groynes are coastal structures that extend from the shore into the sea, designed to interrupt water flow and sediment transport, helping to protect beaches from erosion. Their sustainability is often debated, as while they can provide immediate coastal protection and enhance beach stability, they may also lead to negative impacts down-drift, such as increased erosion in other areas. Sustainable management of long groynes involves balancing their protective benefits with ecological considerations, ensuring that they do not disrupt natural coastal processes. Regular assessment and maintenance are essential to enhance their long-term effectiveness and minimize environmental impacts.

How do groynes stop continental drift?
They don't. Groynes inhibit longshore drift. Longshore drift occurs when currents develop parallel to a shoreline as a result of wave action, carrying sediment with them. Groynes catch sediment and interfere with these currents. Continental drift, a part of plate tectonics, is a completely unrelated process.
