Breakwater at Rhumney Great Wharf A project to protect the foreshore by erecting the breakwater was completed in 2005. It was to encourage silt deposition and allow regeneration of the wharf and increase erosion protection. 2 rows of 3m long tanalised larch stakes were driven into the mudflats, and willow bundles were then placed in between the stakes to a height of 1m.
