The researchers studied how the beach at Odaiba Coastal Park in Tokyo changed over time. They found that the shape of the beach and the angle of the waves caused erosion in one area. A wooden seawall was built to protect the shore, but it didn't work well. The researchers suggested some new ideas to prevent further beach erosion.
