This includes both man-made and natural defences. Natural defences may include man-made elements to make them more effective or protect them from erosion. Normally a number of assets will be used together to manage the risk in a particular area, working in combination within a risk management system.<\/SPAN><\/P><\/DIV><\/DIV><\/DIV>",
