Tetrapod Beaches Of Japan
08/18/08 - Only In Japan

“Hit the beach anywhere in Japan, and you are likely to see endless piles of Tetrapods — enormous four-legged concrete structures intended to prevent coastal erosion. By some estimates, more than 50% of Japan’s 35,000-kilometer (22,000-mi) coastline has been altered with tetrapods and other forms of concrete.” w/ photos
