    Coastal protection by tetrapods

    Already in the middle of the 19th century, the inhabitants of Sylt started thinking about coastal protection. From 1867 so-called groynes were built in numerous places.

    These are wooden poles that are driven into the sea in long rows at right angles to the shore. These are primarily intended to break the waves and keep currents parallel to the shore away from the beach. On Sylt, however, they do not bring the desired success because too many cross currents bypass the groynes.
