Coastal processes play a big role in shaping our beaches and cliffs. Sometimes, this can lead to serious problems.
Here are two major issues:
Erosion: Waves can wear away cliffs, which means we lose some land. This gets worse when people change the coast or when sea levels rise.
Sediment Deposition: Beaches can disappear if there isn’t enough sand and dirt available. This can harm the animals and plants living in those areas.
To tackle these problems, we need smart ways to manage our coastlines, such as:
Coastal Defenses: We can build sea walls and groynes to help protect against erosion.
Sustainable Practices: By taking care of our coastal areas in a responsible way, we can keep natural processes working well.
