Other coastal protections:)

There are also other types of coastal protection in hard engineering like breakwaters, groynes and gabions. The coastlines are protected by reducing the effect of the waves on the coast. It is prevented by strengthening the coastlines and prevent coastal erosion from happening easily. 

More about the coastal protection: Seawalls~

The coastal protection at labrador park is an example of hard engineering which is building seawalls. The seawalls is built along the coast. It is usually made of concrete which absorbs energy from the waves and protects the coast from strong waves. 
Limitations: 
But the seawall is not very long lasting. The waves which break against the seawall would be redirected to the base of the seawall which results in a strong backwash. Eventually, the base of the seawall would weaken and collapse. Thus, it is not a long lasting method and it is also very expensive to built the seawalls.

LOL CUTE GIRL ALERT! ^.^ AH CHUNN! :D See how happy she is LOL. :> She's gonna kill me for this. :B I hope not... Hehe. :)

YAY GROUP PHOTO! XD Okay, this wasn't much of a group photo because there were no faces, but we just couldn't camwhore and take photos of ourselves! >< Just treat this picture as a form of art, ART! And I have no idea whose foot is that...

The rocks on the coasts! These rocks are used to prevent soil erosion! :)

This is the picture from the real Labrador Park after walking an extra 5km around just to find this place! =.= The sea, the coast and the rocks!
