Coastal Management - Geographical Process

One of the main geographical processes/cycles involved in Coastal Management are attrition, abrasion, hydraulic action, corrosion and erosion. These weather down the coasts of countries, especially ones like Australia and cause sand to be removed from beaches and for Governments to have to implement various methods in order to replace the missing or excess product. Such products can include sand, offshore material (wood etc). To keep the coast clean and accessible to the public, the local or state Government would have to block materials like driftwood or other objects to allow these coastal areas to remain open.
