Improved land use practices can limit erosion, using techniques like terrace-building and tree planting.
One negative effect of plowing is to dramatically increase the rate of soil erosion, both by wind and water, where soil is moved elsewhere on land or deposited in bodies of water, such as the oceans. Plowing is thought to be a contributing factor to the Dust Bowl in the US in the 1930's. Alternatives to plowing, such as the no till method, have the potential to limit damage while still allowing farming
Contour ploughing (method of ploughing with furrows at very gentle slops) helps to prevent soil erosion. This is an important technique in modern farming, which was developed as farmers learnt from the mistakes made in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Then many people thought that the Earth's resources were boundless, and in colonies and other territories around the world, they cleared forests and grasslands to make way for new farms. At first, yields were high, but many farms became infertile. Soil erosion-the rapid removal of fertile topsoil by wind or rain-was the main culprit.
Soil erosion is especially severe on sloping land, when farmers plough furrows straight down the slope. This creates gullies which rain water quicky deepens. Contour ploughing, a way to stop this form of erosion, involves ploughing along contours, so that the furrows follow lines linking points of the same height. Such furrows halt the downward flow of water and so reduce erosion.
Please see the web pages for more details and images on Soil erosion and contour ploughing.

Trees and foliage help prevent erosion in a natural world. However during major rain fall in a unexpected climate, there are other measures you can take. Some countries line the earth with steel mesh to keep the ground in-tacked. But the best solution is to have plenty of trees to keep the ground rooted and together with a good water run off system to keep from over saturation.

There are several types of erosion, and hopefully you only were thinking about soil erosion.
Vegetation and planting trees- prevents it by clumping the soil and therefore holding it in place.
Rocks- or the introduction of boulders- relocation of rocks into the mostly soil area, will prevent erosion from wind.
The creation of embankments and artificial barriers,passive measures like grassed waterways or buffer strips are ways to prevent erosion from water.

Too bad you didn't give any details. If it is like the beach...then plant some sandy type grass....or make a line with seaweed.
Out in the water? If there are piers.....then something like a line of heavy debris like old cars or huge chunks of concrete between the piers. Hope this helped....and good luck.

You can stop it by not using but if you are talking about erection then my answer is exactly the opposite. Cheers.
