nile deltal

-
coastal recession has increased due to the contraction of the Aswan dam - reduced the supply of sediment - increase rates of erosion x 10
-
-
-
-
Barton on Sea
used managed retreat (sustainable) - areas set aside for flooding which prevents the construction of infrastructure
-
sea walls have reduced coastal erosion but only parts of the coasts. in other areas erosion is still high and there is a lack of sediment supply
Tuvalu - flooding

-
increased storm surges means defences have become damaged and are not repaired before the next storm
-
Dawlish, South Devon (storm activity)
-
