    First eliminate sea erosion to retain existing land! Our politicians can only talk....we lost several kilometers into sea just from Ullal to Kundapur in the past few years. No politicians wants to save erosion by applying tetrapods. 10 times more money has been spent by not using scientific methods. One truck load of rock may cost 3 to 4 times!
