Three of the following are soft engineering approaches to coastal protection. Which is the odd one out?

  • A.beach nourishment with imported sand
  • B.dune stabilisation using planted vegetation
  • C.managed realignment of the defence line
  • D.construction of a vertical concrete seawall

Answer: D

A concrete seawall is the classic hard engineering solution. The other three work with natural processes rather than resisting them outright. Soft approaches keep the system able to adjust. Adaptability matters as sea level continues to rise.
