Eroding coastlines

This is a very useful article which was published in the New York Times this week.

It looks at the impacts of coastal erosion on the East coast of the UK.

There are some good details in the piece, and it's always interesting to see how the area is viewed from across the Atlantic.

"The Committee on Climate Change, an independent body that advises Britain’s Environment Agency, has reported that 8,900 residential properties — 1,200 of which stand on stretches of coastline with no protective structures — are at risk from coastal erosion. Without active shoreline management, around 82,000 homes could be lost by 2105."
