Unintentional impacts on the coastline
increased the coastal economy
sea defences due to cost-benefit analysis
coastline has become more structured due to the defences and the changes to the area
beaches now used for more recreational tasks
more boat mooring which has calmed the beaches
Effects of the impacts on the coastal landforms
the less trading has caused the beaches to be more calm and this means they are less destructive beaches and more constructive
more pleasing place to live
Consequences of these impacts
increased popularity to the city
increased job opportunity in the tertiary sector of work instead of the secondary sector
a lot more coastal protection, sea walls, groynes, sand dune replenishment and rock armour
