Coastal structures play an essential role and are crucial for the stability and the

development of our coastal environment. Coastal engineers strive to prevent the


damage and destruction caused by waves and erosion. Breakwater, seawalls, and
revetments are some of the structures constructed by coastal engineers to control
erosion. Knowledge about this may help in preventing destructive erosion. Coastal
erosion is one of the major problems in coastal cities and areas. If the coasts are not
protected or managed, it may negatively impact the growth of the country. A large
amount of income is generated from the coastal sectors in the form of tourism, imports,
and exports. This may affect job opportunities in the country. If the coastal areas are not
managed, the total employment from this sector will decrease which will impact the
economy of the country. It preserves the coastal residential areas and prevents them
from the damage and dangers of flooding. Inlets and channels can improve the quality
of the water and prevent the loss of marine habitat and are necessary for maintaining
the ecosystem in the marine land.
