Japan has constructed a 395 km (246 mile) tsunami wall and planted more than 9 million trees along its coastline to shield communities from tsunamis, storm surges, and rising sea levels. By combining massive engineering projects with natural defenses, the initiative serves as a global example of resilient and eco-friendly coastal protection. | Historyinmemes

In the aftermath of the 2011 disaster, Japan launched one of the most ambitious coastal defense projects in history: a hybrid "living wall" that combines 395 kilometers of massive concrete barriers with a forest of 9 million trees. This multi-layered defense is designed to stabilize the shoreline, reduce wave energy, and provide a critical buffer for coastal communities. The Concrete Shield: Japan’s "Great Wall" The primary defense consists of a reinforced concrete system stretching nearly 400 k
