“Although�the�boulder�walls�proved�useful�for�temporary�protection,�it�is�not�probable�that�they�would�withstand�the�Wave�attack�during�a�period�of�heavy�cyclones.�

The�walls�do�not�serve�for�beach�improvement;�they�even�have�a�negative�effect�on�the�natural�restoration�of�the�beaches�in�front�of�them,�due�to�increased�turbulence�as�a�result�of�the�reflection�of�the�waves�against�the�relatively�steep�slopes�of�the�walls.
