Yeah that is what I had thought too watching the posts on this go by. There
must be some way of anchoring the cables, but I think he mentioned they went
down into the sea, and it is the wave action that wrecks them. I get the
impression the cables are just laid across the surface out to a suitable
anchor.

To me the solution would then take one of two forms. If the shore is rocky
then anchor suitable copper pipe to the rocks using blind bolts into holes
drilled into suitable boulders. If the shore is sandy then bury the cables
in a similar manner to what submarine telecom cables are buried as they come
ashore.
