    Heh, over 50% of japan's coastline and riverbanks consists of concrete or tetrapods, or both. Which is why that coral transplanting thing is so interesting, because if viable, it could have much wider applications. The whole japanese archipelago is constantly losing land due to erosion, and with rising raw materials costs, coral might well prove the economical long term solution
