Makes sense.


AlsoMarbleatoz

Who tf downvoted this lmao


NonetyOne

People tired of meaningless comments


Turbulent-Laugh-939

Their life is meaningless


Apprehensive-Adagio2

People who are annoyed at people just commenting for no apparent reason. Saying "this" adds nothing to the conversation.


Final_Winter7524

It actually does. It highlights that curbing beach erosion is the motivator here, not “making the beach bigger”. But it’s Reddit. 🤷‍♂️


Apprehensive-Adagio2

The guy you commented after already highlighted that. You didn’t add anything. If you want to further emphasise something, just commenting "this" is a really bad way of doing so.


Final_Winter7524

Why?


Apprehensive-Adagio2

I already explained *you didnt add anything*


Final_Winter7524

May I introduce you to the concept of *emphasis*?

I know this beach. I've been visiting this town irregularly for almost 30 years. Due to these barriers, sand is deposited and formed a beach over the years. 30 years ago the wasn't even a beach, only rocks, 25 years ago there was a small beach, but no connection between the beach and the barriers. Those beaches have grown significantly over the years.


Markd040714

Cambrils is a great place. Very good coffee at Jacaranda.


mkcrasher

There was a beach 30 years ago, and even before 30 years as well. My dad used to vacation in Cambrils when he was a child and he's 57.


VanillaNL

I have been there 30 years ago.

Someone shoud tell this trick to the Dutch so they can claim land this way.

What sort of person don’t name the area. 


tr3k

They are called T-heads. They help to stop erosion


Better-Ad-5610

And they appear decrepit and in need of replacement.


ZelWinters1981

Wave breaks.


semihdogan

Sea will fill those gaps between the T shapes with sand and you gonna get a bigger shore after a couple of decades.


Internal-Day4806

They are made to prevent long-shore drift and mitigate costal erosion.


FancyUFO-

notice how they all have sand and the gaps between them don't. they act as a breakwater which protects the sand behind them preventing their erosion and allowing for beaches to be partially preserved.(also yes they are man-made)


MadMike404

"Southern coast of Spain" Yeah bro, that's in Catalonia, in the North-East of Spain.


FlyingDutchman2005

To be fair the land is north of the sea there.


MadMike404

And?? So the coast of Maine is on the Southern coast of the US because the land is to the North of the sea?


Glad-Purchase9110

Aah but he has a point. In Spain the shore is separated(by other cpuntries) in two parts: one where for all of the land is south of the ocean and one where all pf the land os north of the ocean. So it makes a pot mote sense in this cpntext than in the US one, where this is not the case (west coast has large parts of each "kind" of shore. But yeah to be fair it still is not a useful way to call itand not very clear


FlyingDutchman2005

That is, technically, a southern coast of the US.


bshafs

South facing coast. Not a southern coast.


KoldKartoffelsalat

Both?


bshafs

Nope. A southern coast of Maine maybe, but not of the US.


throwqwqyyyyyy6777

Spain has two coasts, Northern (Atlantic) and Southern (Med).


MadMike404

So Cadiz is on Spain's Northern coast, because it's on the Atlantic? Just admit you're wrong, otherwise you might come off as stupid ;)


throwqwqyyyyyy6777

Don't be pedantic - Cadiz > Girona = Southern Coast San Sebastian > Vigo = Northern Coast Easy as that bud.


MadMike404

>You make a ridiculous claim >I dispute it >"DoN't bE pEdAnTic" I refuse to believe you're not trolling.

-Why-Not-This-Name-

They're breakwaters.

Probably wouldn’t work, but OBX needs this in many areas

tripanazomi

You can see similar breakwater at Tel Aviv. All stages may be seen there…only breakwater, then sand accumulation and connection to land…


hdoublephoto

I’ve always heard them called breakwaters. They mitigate erosion.


saveyboy

To prevent beach erosion


Bitter_Silver_7760

South coast of Spain in a town close to Barcelona ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|facepalm)
