1. A method of reducing erosion around a new seawall, the method comprising:
injecting an amount of a sealing material to an injection depth at each of a plurality of spaced locations along a landward side of the new seawall to form an undulating pattern, wherein the new seawall is a seawall that has been constructed within 12 months and before substantial soil erosion has occurred; and
thereafter drilling or boring one or more dewatering channels that extend through the new seawall and at least a portion of the sealing material,
wherein the one or more dewatering channels create paths for the flow of water such that the sealing material directs water from the landward side of the new seawall to an outlet adjacent the waterward side of the new seawall.
