efforts to purge and renew itself from the effects of man’s endeavors. Mangor (2002) argues that like the ocean that shapes coastal landforms‚ the coasts are dynamic aspects of the environment that are in constant change. Thus‚ by means of its natural processes such as sea level rise‚ waves and various phenomenon‚ erosion‚ accretion and reshaping of coasts‚ flooding and the creation of continental shelves it defends itself against man. A specific aspect of the environment that engenders conversation

Beginning in the southeastern Vic city of Torquay and stretching a full 244 kilometres to the city of Allansford near Warrnambool‚ lies what has been labeled by many as the greatest example of scenic coastal road engineering that exists: The Great Ocean Road (TGOR). Having been actually built by returning World War I Aussie soldiers‚ TGOR today still stands as the world’s largest war memorial. This architectural wonder consists of a two-lane road‚ one lane in each direction. As it travels through

already natural beach can intensify coastal erosion. The alternative is just to preserve the ecosystem as “mangroves and seagrass beds are able to grow upward as the sea level rises‚ and sediment accumulates‚ thus increasing‚ the resilience of the coasts” (Martinez‚ 2016‚ p. 1). A mangrove is a type of shrub that grows in coastal swamps and seagrass beds are a type of seaweed. A plant researchers used for a study was called Ipomoea pes-caprae. This specific plant was chosen because it grows on beaches

From the United States to Australia to the UK and back‚ our coastlines are disappearing and we have been trying to stop it. Up and down the United States coastline‚ residents are worried about undermined cliffs‚ vanishing beaches and houses toppling into the sea.

against erosive power of waves To protect a coast from erosion‚ people have built seawalls in front of a cliff or along the coast. A seawall is usually made of concrete. It acts as a buffer and absorbs energy of breaking waves especially during storms where the waves are strong‚ thus protecting the coast. A seawall shields and protects the coast from the direct impact of the incoming waves‚ thus reducing erosion. However‚ a seawall may not protect a coast from erosion in the long run. As waves break

However‚ coastlines have been reducing over the past several decades‚ and something must be done. This is where beach nourishment comes into play. Beach nourishment‚ or replenishment‚ is the process by which coast lines are replaced. Beach nourishment

In Sea Palling on the North Norfolk coast‚ the SMP is ‘hold and advance the line’ which is needed in Sea Palling due to it becoming increasingly vulnerable to coastal flooding because as it is on the North Norfolk coast‚ the cliffs are made up of soft sands and clay‚ making them particularly vulnerable to the effects of natural processes such as erosion.

This structure has many different designs; it can be used to protect a cliff from wave attack and improve slope stability and it can also dissipate wave energy on sandy coasts. Challenges /Limitations /Disadvantages However‚ a seawall may not protect a coast from erosion in the long run. As waves break against the seawall‚ the curved sea walls reflect the energy of the waves which is redirected downwards‚ to the base of the seawall‚ resulting in a strong backwash
