Tetrapods are solid structures designed to protect against waves or tsunamis, initially invented in France in 1949. They are commonly utilized in coastal development globally, with sizes varying from 3 to 5 meters in length, and some weighing more than 70 tons each.

In 2022, the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries designated tetrapods as dangerous zones within harbors and prohibited entry to these areas. Failure to comply with this regulation may lead to a penalty of 1 million won.

The presence of algae and frequent exposure to seawater causes the surface of tetrapods to be slick, resulting in a high risk of slipping.
