Seawalls Kill Beaches
- "“The wall itself is the problem. If you build a sea wall to protect the shore, the inevitable consequence is that the beach will disappear. The wall cannot absorb the energy of the sea. All beaches with defences ... are in danger. When you build the sea wall, that is the end of the beach,” Cooper told The Guardian." - quote from Andrew Cooper of the University of Ulster in article in Good Magazine. The basics on seawalls.
