Sea defences play a crucial role in safeguarding coastal areas from the relentless power of the ocean. From an aerial view, Sandbanks in Poole Bay, Dorset DW2000 showcases a stunning display of man-made structures that protect against erosion and flooding. Similarly, Southwold pier and wooden groyne at sunset in Suffolk, England create a picturesque scene while serving as vital barriers against the encroaching sea. In East Sussex's Winchelsea Beach, weathered groynes stand as resilient sentinels amidst crashing waves. Across the Atlantic Ocean, Charlevoix Lighthouse and beach bask in the warm hues of sunset while providing protection to its surrounding shores. Aberystwyth in Ceredigion, Wales exemplifies how they can essential across Europe. As we witness an aerial view of groynes at Hengistbury Head in Christchurch Harbour, Dorset DW1958, it becomes evident that these structures are indispensable for preserving our coastlines. Yet sea defences extend beyond traditional methods; they adapt to their surroundings. In South Water Cay, Belize jetty and sea defence made from Queen Coch shells showcase nature-inspired ingenuity. However, with rising global temperatures and subsequent sea level rise becoming increasingly prevalent threats worldwide - such as The Breach at Alkborough on the Humber Estuary - protecting low-lying lands is becoming more challenging and costly than ever before. The urgency to fortify vulnerable areas is further emphasized by Happisburgh on Norfolk Coast – considered UK's fastest eroding point due to climate change-induced sea level rise and intensified storms. Jaywick Sands DP219091 stands testament to humanity's resilience as it battles against nature's forces through robust coastal defenses. Reculver P_A02576_007 exhibits another example where man-made solutions strive to preserve precious land along Britain's coastline.
