Conceptual diagram illustrating a hardened shoreline vs a natural shoreline. The hardened shoreline has concrete rip-rap or a sea wall. It can be very costly and can also interrupt natural shoreline processes and sand movement that can lead to increased erosion downdrift from the structure.

It filters runoff and traps sediment, actually widening the beach, and providing valuable shoreline habitat for wildlife.
