Coastal Erosion Sample Clauses

Coastal Erosion. Coastal erosion is one of the major problems facing Kiribati. Most activities such as recreation, liquid and solid waste disposal, extraction of sand and gravel rock for construction and building of roadways take place along the shorefront of Kiribati. However, due to the lack of understanding of the wave and current dynamics around the islands and the misconception that the coasts will recover, these atoll environments are under severe stress and are affected by significant erosion, pollution and damage to marine coastal biodiversity. Activities that contribute to the increasing problem of erosion on Kiribati include fill reclamation for road construction, blasting of reefs for boat channel construction, and aggregate mining for construction purposes. Coastal erosion is most acute near the urban centre of South Tarawa, where population density, unregulated shorefront development and overexploitation of coastal resources are the highest.

Coastal Erosion. The predicted increase of coastal erosion combined with sea level rise is expected to lead to increased impacts of storms (City of New York, 2013). In one estimate, the damage costs of a similar storm to Hurricane Xxxxx could be almost five times higher by the 2050s, even if it is assumed that no further development happens in the floodplain. The waves and retreating waters caused by Hurricane Xxxxx caused New York’s beaches to lose up to 2.3 million cubic metres of sand citywide.
