Sea gabions are typically found in coastal areas where they are used for erosion control and shoreline protection. They are often placed along beaches, riverbanks, and coastal structures to stabilize the soil and absorb wave energy. Additionally, they can be used in marine environments for habitat restoration and to enhance biodiversity. Their versatility allows them to be integrated into various coastal engineering projects.
