Received Date: Sep 01, 2023 / Published Date: Sep 30, 2023
Abstract
Coastal erosion is a complex and multifaceted environmental issue that threatens the stability and resilience of coastal ecosystems and communities worldwide. This research article provides an in-depth analysis of the causes, consequences, and mitigation strategies associated with coastal erosion. While natural processes have long influenced coastal landscapes, the acceleration of erosion due to climate change and human activities necessitates urgent attention. Rising sea levels, intensified storm events, and anthropogenic interventions have all contributed to the erosion crisis. The consequences of coastal erosion encompass ecological damage, economic losses, and societal displacement. To address these challenges, a range of mitigation strategies have been developed, including beach nourishment, coastal armoring, and ecosystem-based approaches. The effectiveness and sustainability of these strategies are discussed, emphasizing the need for a holistic and adaptive approach to coastal erosion management. Ultimately, this research article underscores the importance of proactive measures to mitigate coastal erosion’s impacts, protect coastal environments, and secure the future of vulnerable coastal communities.
