Seabanks are natural barriers that exist between the land and sea. These banks are known by different names across regions and cultures. Synonyms for the word "seabanks" include coastal dunes, beach ridges, shorelines, coastal bluffs, and littorals. The term "coastal dunes" refers to the elevated sandy hills that form along the seashore. "Beach ridges" are narrow sandy strips that can be found parallel to the coastline. "Shorelines" and "coastal bluffs" are terms used to refer to the line where the land meets the sea, including the cliffs and heights along the coast. "Littorals" describe tidal zones with sandy or rocky shores. Whatever the term, seawalls are essential as natural buffers against coastal flooding, storms, and erosion.
