Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Breakwater, groin, and seawall are all man-made structures used to control or limit the movement of water along coastlines. Beach nourishment, on the other hand, is a process of adding sand or sediment to a beach to counteract erosion or other damages. It does not involve the construction of any physical barriers.
