Gente, é hard vs. soft work. Não tem nada a ver com a dificuldade. "Hard" são estruturas rígidas (concreto, alvenaria) e as "soft" são as flexíveis (massa, solo, vegetação).

enrocamento / espigões / molhes


Explanation:
Paulinho, não encontrei um termo que traduza o hard, mas pelo que entendi, as construções de proteção de linha de costa são as verticais, normalmente enrocamento aderente e outros tipos, e o tipo suave, que não seria tão íngreme, tomando parte da praia ou área afim.

Acho que "vertical" seria um bom termo

Indo um pouco mais além, percebo que quando falamos em "estabilização" da linha costa , é referente ao "hard one" e, quando não é "hard", fala-se em progradação ou retrogradação, quando a linha da costa se move em uma edificação mais "suave".
