Answer:

A sea wall (or sea wall) is a form of protection for coastal areas that are directly affected by
the sea or other coastal processes. The purpose of building a sea wall is to protect residential
areas, conservation, and recreation from tides, waves, and tsunamis.[1] The static nature of the
seawall will protect the dynamic impacts of the coastline it protects, such as the movement of
sediment from the coast to the sea and vice versa.
The coastline is a very dynamic environment.[3] This area is directly affected by erosion due
to river flow, wind, and sea, so the combination of denudation processes will have an impact on
the seawall structure.[4] Because of this, the seawall must be regularly maintained and replaced
when it reaches its service life so that the structure remains effective.
Sea walls can be built using a variety of materials. Commonly encountered materials include
reinforced concrete, stone, steel, or gabion. Other materials that can be used include: vinyl,
wood, aluminum, glass fiber composites, and sand bags made of straw or coconut coir.[5] In the
United Kingdom, seawall also refers to an embankment of earth to create a polder or
embankment construction.
The sea wall works by reflecting the waves coming from the sea so as to prevent erosion.[6]
Seawalls can have two specific drawbacks. First, the reflection of the waves from the sea wall
can reduce the depth of the sand in front of the beach.[7] Second, seawalls can accelerate the
erosion of nearby unprotected coastal areas.[8]
A. Type
The design and type of seawall depends on the characteristics of the site, including the
erosion process in the vicinity.[9] There are three main types of seawalls, namely
vertical, curved, and mounds/piles:

1. Vertikal

The sea wall was built directly on the edge of the sea. This type of sea wall
reflects the energy of the incoming waves. Storm conditions can cause the
formation of standing waves that do not break. This wave can cause a silent
clapotic wave that moves up and down, but does not move horizontally.[10][11]
Waves like this can damage the bottom of the seawall.[12] In some cases, a pile
is placed in front of the wall to slightly reduce the wave energy before it hits the
wall.
2. Curved

The curved design allows the waves to break apart and dissipate energy before
bouncing it back out to sea. The curved design can also prevent waves from
collapsing and add protection to the base of the wall.
3. Mound or pile.
 This type of sea wall uses revetments or ripraps that are used in environments
with low erosion energy. This structure can allow water to pass through after the
wave energy is dissipated.
A report released by the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) explains that the
tsunami that occurred on December 26, 2004 caused less damage to areas protected by
mangroves, corals, or coastal vegetation.[14] Natural shields such as coral and mangrove forests
prevent the spread of tsunami waves and tidal flooding.[15]
