We have a beach where they just used granite boulders and they came loose and roll around on the ocean floor by the beach now. There's a surfer who hangs about who has a huge scar on his face from getting sucked under one of them.

Total waste of energy and CO2. Don't they have any natural rocks? Besides, it looks awful, like the war efforts to keep tanks out.
