Coastal Erosion refers to how waves can remove the sediment of sand and dirt that makes up the shoreline. It can cause problems when buildings built near the water become unstable and even fall, due to the ground being eroded.
But what can we do to prevent coastal erosion? Are there any solutions which don't harm the Earth? Watch year 6 student Anna's 2-minute video below to find out!
About the video
In Green Infrastructure: The Solution to Coastal Erosion, Anna uses humour and graphics to explain the phenomenon of coastal erosion and its causes in an accessible and entertaining way. She also highlights how green solutions such as vegetation and natural barriers can be used to protect homes and assets.
