@bruce_macbride The recurved wall is brilliant and the best option. Not as expensive as a barrier island.

Even better and much less expensive solution… the mangrove👇🏻

Nothing works better than mangroves.

Given the variability of waves, I always wondered if it would be less expensive and more effective to generate waves on the shore with the same frequency and opposite amplitude—wave canceling waves. It would definitely be less expensive than refreezing the oceans.
