Shu Ying and Yi Chuan at Labrador Nature Reserve and West Coast Park
Labrador Nature Reserve
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Benefits:
In Labrador Nature Reserve, seawalls built of rock and concrete along the coast are used for coastal protection. Seawalls destroy the incident energy of the waves, so that the reflected waves are lower there is less turbulence. Being rock and concrete in nature, it is very hard and is less likely to suffer the effects of erosion than the natural coast of sand.  


Limitations:
However, sea walls are very expensive to built costing between $4000 to $7000 per metre (£2000 - £5000 per metre)  If the sea walls are poorly designed constant care is necessary as waves erode the base of the seawall.
Sea walls can also cause beaches to break up making them useless for tourism. The construction of seawalls also destroys the beauty of the natural landscape in the area.


Extras:
Beach Drainage (seen in the picture) also prevents flooding.





 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
West Coast Park

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Benefits:
In West Coast Park, in addition to sea walls, cliff stablization is used. Cliff stabilization can be done by the draining of excess rainwater. Cliff drainage is used to hold a cliff together using plants, fences and or terracing, this is used to help prevent landslides and other natural disasters. The plants also hold the soil in place and prevents coastal erosion.

Limitations:
Cliff Stabilization changes the cliff's hydrology will may result in negative impacts to the ecology in that area.
