Solution to this issue:
2. The solution to this issue was to construct breakwaters to stabilise the river entrance and help keep it clear of sand. but in the end it only caused the build up of more sand, causing the same issue which was present before hand.
Successful or not:
3. to start of with the solution was successful but due to sand build up they had to be extended out further. I believe that it was a quick solution to the problem but it will be a problem for the future and a better solution will need to be assessed and put into action.
