Coastal processes discussion
2 likes1,202 views
The document discusses coastal processes and how coastlines are affected. It covers topics like wave movement, erosion, deposition, and methods for stabilizing shorelines. Hard structures like seawalls, groins and jetties are discussed as well as soft methods like beach nourishment. Sea level rise is also covered as a threat to coastlines, as it can lead to beach loss over time. Case studies from Puerto Rico and other locations are presented to illustrate different coastal features and impacts of development or climate change on shorelines.

- 25. Some concluding questions • Does stabilization still works? • How the “developed” countries increase the climate change and sea level? • How can we protect the coast from construction? Are the laws enough? • Which are the factors that increase the coastal destruction? • Who live in the coast? • Process of gentrification at the coast. LODERAY I.M.
