Coastal Erosion: How Perpendicular Defenses Work 

Join us on a trip to Liguria, where we explore the stunning shores and discuss how coastal erosion can be prevented with perpendicular defenses. Learn about the different structures used, such as groynes and semi-submerged islands, and how they help interrupt the littoral drift. Discover the pros and cons of using these defenses, and the challenges they pose in addressing coastal erosion. Don't miss this informative and scenic video on the importance of protecting our shorelines.
