👉 A coastal project is like a human's attempt at building a sandcastle, but instead of just fun and games, they're battling the relentless ocean waves, tide pools, and maybe even trying to convince a giant hermit crab to join the crew. It's basically a human endeavor to make a piece of land that's as ephemeral as a seashell that just rolled away.
Example sentence with an edgy twist: "The coastal project to build a beach house for the wealthy was so over budget, it decided to turn into a tidal flat and now only attracts seaweed and a few confused crabs."
