Answer 1

PROS: A seawall is a man-made structure erected to protect the shore from tidal waves and thus prevent erosion and flooding. Apart from providing coastal defense, a seawall protects human habitation and recreational activities from the sea waves. A seawall reduces the wave energy by reflecting it back to the sea. This greatly reduces the energy and erosion of the existing coastline. Seawalls provide a number of benefits but they also have certain negative features which have to be considered in order to ensure that the construction of the seawall is truly beneficial and appropriate to the costs involved.

Answer 2

CONS: The construction of Seawalls involves high costs besides dissolving the beaches and making them nonfunctional for beach goers. It is important to determine whether the construction of a seawall is beneficial and worthy of the high costs involved. Seawalls may not be a pleasing sight and ruin the landscape of the sea. The construction of seawalls can destroy the formation of intertidal beaches and wetlands that form naturally near the shoreline.
