Already a resort and several houses have been damaged and about 15 houses in Kaiko and 25 houses in Uchila are said to be endangered due to sea erosion.

Sea erosion has been a perennial problem in Ullal, Someshwar and few other places as strong winds and giant waves lash the coastline mercilessly. Despite repeated efforts by the successive governments to ‘solve’ this problem, no lasting response has been found to match Nature’s fury and several crores of rupees have been literally sunk into the sea in the course of these vain efforts.
