    Tetrapods are a type of structure in coastal engineering used to prevent erosion caused by weather and long shore drift, primarily to enforce coastal structures such as seawalls and breakwaters - Cut & Paste.

    Tetrapods can only be placed where there is a long and shallow sea face like in Mumbai.
    In Mangalore, Udupi and northern Kerala, there is deep sea immediately a few meters from the shore. Permanent wall is the only solution.
    Just a quote from Gandhi.." When you start feeling that the whole world is wrong and you are the only one right, then turn your torchlight towards yourself and look into a mirror".
