Beached Vessel Needs Geotextile Tubes?

Erosion during India’s monsoon season is a major concern. The state of Goa is dealing with a double-edged problem: a grounded vessel and erosion (the latter being connected in part to the presence of the grounded vessel and what may occur if the ship is moved during monsoon). To remedy all of the this, funds are being made available to halt further problems along a 1.1-km shoreline on Dando-Sinquerim beach. Project partners hope to use submerged geotextile tubes to break the waves and control erosion so that some dredging and reclamation work may be performed around the ship.
