Seawall 1
Seawall 1 : (1) A structure, often concrete or stone, built along a portion of a coast to prevent erosion and other damage by wave action. Often it retains earth against its shoreward face. (2) A structure separating land and water areas to alleviate the risk of flooding by the sea. Generally shore-parallel, although some reclamation Seawalls may include lengths that are normal or oblique to the (original) shoreline. A Seawall is typically more massive and capable of resisting greater wave forces than a Bulkhead
