We have received some great questions from you, the innovator community! Huge shout out to everyone who has been digging into the details in the challenge forum!
We've aggregated some of the most insightful questions and created an FAQ section for you. Check them out:

The seawall will be constructed along the inner shore of a man-made lagoon fed by seawater from the Bali Sea and the objective with the seawall is to prevent shoreline erosion and protect infrastructure. It’s not meant to break waves.
Q: What are construction materials available in Bali?
In terms of sourcing of materials, we encourage local sourcing. For timber, we would only want sustainable timber (certified harvested responsibly). Bali does not have a logging industry, but certified sustainable timber would be available from other parts of Indonesia.
A sustainable resource abundantly available in Bali and Indonesia is bamboo, which has already been used for some construction on the island.
Concrete, stainless steel rods, etc. are available in Bali. The same goes for the equipment you mentioned, as well as a flat area for staging.
Q: Can you please provide more details on the location for the seawall?
The part of the island where the seawall will be located has not yet been developed. The island is made up of rock and sand and is very flat with no hills. The sea-edge treatment will be 950 meters and located in a bay where a marina will be constructed.
The bay has been dredged so the water is deep enough for larger leisure boats, but it is not meant to take larger commercial ships. There are some coral reefs around the island, including a 1.6 km coral reef that the developer has rehabilitated, but there is a clear passage for boats
