Coastline Degradation and Renewal
The Australian coastline degradation results from several factors, some of which are weather
related.
However, the primary reason is that the earth or sand on the coastline is pulled away from it
at a faster rate than it is returned to it.
This is partly due to industries setting up facilities on the
water front, thus drilling into the rock and earth and essentially breaking it up.
After that, it occurs
when there are large disturbances on this broken up rock, either due to weather or due to human

Rather than sifting out and sifting back in, the coastline is
essentially broken up and allowed to dissolve in the water.
If left untouched for a few decades, the
coastline may actually build back up over time, but this is unlikely since people are still finding uses
for setting up machinery operations on the waterfront.
When such degradation occurs, it is necessary to rethink all contact with it.
