The Dutch would build a barrier from E Tilbury to Cliffe.
On the other hand, it may be that it will not be necessary..
Stick a turbine or two in the build and use 24/7 tidal power to generate some moon powered free electrikery ?
Use some of the power generated to operate the required lock.
Need not be big as nothing bigger than the Arco Avon needs to go much beyond and all the really big ships bringing in all that Chinese plastic err "stuff " stops at that nice port owned by that unpleasantTheocractic state .
The Egyptions operate bigger locks on the Nile, surely an advanced nation like ours could do something like that ?
