Not only do seawalls destroy beaches, but they also have major ecological, economic, recreational, and cultural impacts too. The Surfrider Foundation advocates for alternatives to seawalls, such as watershed & dune restoration, which help fortify natural systems. We also promote living shorelines—which are ‘shoreline stabilization techniques that are primarily made of vegetation or other living natural elements. Finally, the best way to avoid the use of seawalls is to build homes and businesses a safe distance from the ocean, so that they will not be in danger of erosion.

As climate change continues to impact our coastal communities, we must urge Congress to employ more proactive planning measures that protect our beaches and our communities for generations to come.
