The Department of Infrastructure has submitted plans for a new sea wall along Douglas Promenade.
The proposal - for the structure just over 500 metres long - would be made of re-inforced concrete.
It would be 1.2-metres high and anchored to the existing wall.
In their submission they say this would be to reduce wave overtopping.
