Description
Summary:Coastal shorelines are dynamic environments, as currents and wave action continually shift sediment from one location to another. Shorelines are constantly changing as new land features appear, while other features disappear. This video explores the natural rhythm of shorelines and examines how human activity is drastically affecting the supply of sediments.
