Beach Erosion Information & Products
Beach Erosion has become a household name around the world as it continues as a growing problem. Whether the shore is sheltered or exposed currents, waves, and sea level change play a major role in the causes of this erosion type.
Another popular solution is to build seawalls, revetments, and jetties along the shoreline. According to Dr. Ken Ruben , assistant professor of Geology and Geophysics at the University of Hawaii, "[t]hese have a negative effect on beaches because once sea water reaches them, it bounces off them with more energy than a wave washing back off a normal sand beach."

So what is a good solution? Nothing beats beach erosion like natural vegetation. Natural fibers, like coir , can help propagate the growth and provide stability to root systems. If a seawall must be built, the fabric underlay should be a geotextile.
