Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All three options listed (seawall, groin, and breakwater) are examples of hard stabilization methods that are designed to prevent or slow down the process of shoreline erosion. A seawall is a solid structure built along the coast to block waves and prevent them from eroding the beach. A groin is a wall-like structure that extends into the ocean perpendicular to the coast and is designed to prevent sand from being washed away. A breakwater is a barrier built parallel to the coastline to protect a harbor or shoreline from the force of waves.
