I am writing today to discuss the issue of coastal erosion and the proposed solution of beach nourishment. Coastal erosion has several causes‚ the most prominent being the breaking of waves against the coastline. While seemingly harmless‚ over time waves break away at the shoreline‚ leading to its reduction. Beaches are the one thing that protect coastal structures from such damage. They act as a line of defense for everything they surround‚ and are necessary for communities to thrive along the coast

especially topsoil‚ as a living entity. SOIL EROSION Soil erosion is when the soil is blown away by the wind or washed away by the rain. Soil erosion is common in areas with steep slopes‚ where trees have been cut down‚ in droughts when crops and other vegetation grow poorly and in rural areas which are overpopulated. Nepal‚ in the Himalayan Mountains‚ has severe problems caused by increased population density and steep slopes. Soil erosion can be reduced by building terraces on hillsides

predicted to be gone‚ actions and precautions are taken we can stop the disaster from happening. Coastal erosion in Louisiana is the process of steady depletion of wetlands‚ along the state’s coastline in marshes‚ swamps‚ and barrier islands. Southeast Louisiana has lost a large portion of its wetlands within the past 5 years and is expected to lose more in the coming years. One problem of coastal erosion is an increased vulnerability to hurricane surges which affects New Orleans. For example August 23

| | | | | | | | | The Erosion Process1. Water. Erosion from water typically occurs in the following ways. a. Raindrop Splash and Sheet Erosion. The first step in the erosion process begins as raindrops impact the soil surface. Raindrops typically fall with a velocity of 20-30 feet per second. The energy of these impacts are sufficient to displace soil particles as high as two feet vertically. In addition‚ the impact of a rainfall on a bare soil can compact the upper layer of
