A groyne is a structure which is built at least partially underwater to inhibit water flow and control the movement of sediment. The purpose of a groin at the beach is either to create more beach or to prevent the erosion of an existing beach.
A build-up, which is often accompanied by accelerated erosion of the downdrift beach, which receives little or no sand from longshore drift. (This is known as terminal groyne syndrome, as it occurs after the terminal groyne in a group of groynes).

A groyne is a hydraulic structure that is used to interrupt water flow and to keep sediment from moving. Groynes can cost up to $770,000.

A beach groyne works when you put a groyne on the water (usually made of timber, bamboo, or other materials), the only source for a groyne is so that the whole beach/island doesn't "wash away" and all of it's sand get washed off into the ocean.
its a concreete stuchure to protect the cliffs from erosion
The groyne has many features that make it useful. Gyrones can be designed however a person wants it to be designed, which makes it as permeable or nonpermeable as they want.
