4. Coastal Erosion and Protection Measures Including Case Studies

continuons curve approximating a near circulai curve, Case (b) The same
layer but with a gap of 25 m in between individual units and Case (c) An
outer layer in addition to the layout as in Case (b) at a distance of 20 m
from the same (Fig. 4.18(e)). Based on the wave height distribution, [Case
(c)] shown in Fig. 4.18(f), i.e., the two layered protection measure was finalized and implemented. The fabrication of units and its effect on the coral
growth are shown in Fig. 4.18(g). The protection measure is found very
effective and has also withstood two cyclones.
