Coastal erosion

Environment & Nature News - Coastal erosion may be worse than we think -


: "Sydney's iconic Bondi Beach, for example, has a very steep profile and would be less vulnerable to erosion than a shallow beach like the one at Byron Bay, much further north, says Cowell."

If you look at world maps from a couple of hundred years ago and before, the world is different so change do take place. We have become very observant and so we notice. From this point of view it is good we are developing climate warming models for the southern hemisphere and we are looking at coastline erosion. Given the technology and scientific knowledge we have, we ought to be able to make some reasonable predictions so that we can shift people and places and thereby protect them. We certainly need to look at vegetation programmes. The more we denude our landscape, the more erosion there is and of course, global warming is causing seas to rise and eat our coastlines. Time to get a good picture of the patterns and move with the changes.
