Coastal erosion is described as a natural process along the world’s coastlines that occurs through the actions of currents and waves and results in the loss of sand residue in some places and accretion in others. The rates of erosion tend to be higher in areas where soft sandstone or mudstones are dominant depending on geological type rather than hard substrates such as basalt or granite. Despite the differences in erosion potential along the world’s coastlines, scientists predict that there have been dramatic increases in coastal erosion over the last two decades. These incidents are expected to continue as sea level risesand storm frequency and severity increases.
