How has society responded to coastal changes initiated by sand transportation‚ and have these responses been wise environmentally and economically? What do you do when mid-latitude cyclones get larger‚ strong frontal winds are more frequent‚ and waves and currents get stronger? How can we control high waves and storm surges that drive more sediment transport‚ permanently changing the coast? Coastal dunes‚ of all shapes and sizes‚ are are dense enough to prevent rapid and significant changes
