Shoreline environments are highly variable, both in space and time. Organisms occupying the shoreline have adapted to a certain degree of natural variation in habitat and environmental conditions. For example, the breaching of normally closed estuaries to the sea during rough/high seas and high rainfall allows juvenile fish to enter the ocean and for adult fish to enter the estuary to spawn. 
Protective structures to prevent sand loss or counteract high tides may act to disrupt this natural variation in habitat and environment. On the other hand, it must be acknowledged that due to climate change, shoreline environments are experiencing more frequent extreme conditions, such as storms and higher sea levels. Protective structures could act to provide slightly more stable environmental conditions under which certain organisms can survive.

3 characteristic

1- it contains sulfur when bacteria found sulfur in the media then it produces H2S (hydrogen sulfate). It causes the blackening of the media which acts as an indicator that bacteria can produce H2S.

2- Indol is the second characteristic. If bacteria is indol positive than it changes color from yellow to pink when the reagent is added.
