Protects the beach from Eros I also processes and long lasting. Rip-rap is cheaper than groynes at £50/m where as groynes are £1000/m

# data[].attributes.body
Intrusive/unnatural looking

# data[].attributes.body
Groynes Increases tourist potential due to it widening and building up the beach because of them trapping sediment

# data[].attributes.body
More expensive

# data[].attributes.body
They generally last longer than soft engineering techniques if they are maintained well

# data[].attributes.body
Very effective against erosion

# data[].attributes.body
Absorbs wave energy

# data[].attributes.body
Most soft engineering techniques appear more natural and can blend into the environment, such as dune stabalisation .
The techniques are relatively cheaper to hard engineering techniques , for example dune stabalisation can cost as little as 200GBP/M as opposed to 6000GBP/M for a sea wall.

# data[].attributes.body
Highly sustainable

# data[].attributes.body
More effective

# data[].attributes.body
Reduces access up and down the beach

# data[].attributes.body
Natural looking so there isn't any complaints from local residents that the management techniques look unsightly.

# data[].attributes.body
They are much cheaper than hard Engineering techniques such as a Sea wall which costs up to £6 million per metre as opposed to beach nourishment which costs about £10 per cubic metre

# data[].attributes.body
Obvious to people that something is being done - they feel protected.

# data[].attributes.body
Helps protect weak cliff lithology. More cost effective because the defenses typically last longer than soft engineering alternatives

# data[].attributes.body
Cheaper

# data[].attributes.body
Not as effective

# data[].attributes.body
Maintenance costs are usually very high.

# data[].attributes.body
Property and land is still lost

# data[].attributes.body
Expensive to maintain, if damaged this would be very costly to repair

# data[].attributes.body
Takes time to plant marram grass

# data[].attributes.body
Reassures people at risk

# data[].attributes.body
Prone to failure

# data[].attributes.body
May need constant maintenance

# data[].attributes.body
Lasts longer

# data[].attributes.body
Will not stop tourism

# data[].attributes.body
Can create habitats

# data[].attributes.body
Less intrusive

# data[].attributes.body
Can increase tourism and therefore economic benefit.

# data[].attributes.body
Cheaper than hard engineering for example Sand Dune stabilisation cost around £200 whereas sea walls costs £6000 per meter

# data[].attributes.body
Can take a long time to work

# data[].attributes.body
Can be difficult to find sustainable sources of the natural sediment

# data[].attributes.body
Coastal ecosystems neglected

# data[].attributes.body
Technique has to be repeated frequently, unlike hard engineering

# data[].attributes.body
Sometimes only a small area is protected like in beach nouris

# data[].attributes.body
Aren’t strong enough to withstand powerful storms.

# data[].attributes.body
Creates natural habitats and blends into the environment well

# data[].attributes.body
Some are very expensive like sea walls at £5000 per linear m but also may disturb views and promanade of the beach.

# data[].attributes.body
Works with natural processes

# data[].attributes.body
New sediment required every few years.

# data[].attributes.body
Sediments may have been dredged from offshore , so changing the sediment cell balances and deepens the water so that the waves may approach the shore with more destructive energy.

# data[].attributes.body
Very ugly to look at which can affect the local tourism industry that affects the local economy from the resulting lack of business
