Coastal defences. Waves breaking against a groyne at high tide at Happisburgh,Norfolk,UK. The Norfolk area of the English coastline is particularly prone to erosion by the sea,and some areas are eroding at a rate of nine metres a year. Coastal defences,such as this groyne,are used to slow the rate of erosion by absorbing the energy of the waves. Photographed in August 2008 | |
