Timber groyne on Sussex coast on a pleasant day with sail boats on the horizon.

---

One of many UK sea defences. This is a typical beach groyne of timber construction designed to slow the natural process of longshore drift that erodes our natural beaches. This ultimately leads to severe coastal erosion. In this photograph is a timber groyne showing the sea in nice colours with sail boats on the horizon plus it's a pleasant day.
