The regular erosion speed approximately 2 to 3 meters/year, taking the distance coastline West Sumatra Causeway which around 250 meters. Efforts eradicate abrasion on Coast are mostly carried out using protective structures. One breakwater structures that can reduce wave energy geotextile tubes, a low-threshold structure. Geotextile tubes create synthetic barrier along shorelines and beaches help control placement plays an important role overall protection system performance. simulated accretion positions coast. simulation results indicated position between most effective manage avoid coast’s area at Province.
