Outline the main geographical processes relevant to Coastal Management.


All geographical processes are relevant. One such process is called Transportation which cam move the sand's location, due to ocean currents and diverging waves, along a single direction of the beach. The effect on coastal management is that permanent structures along the coast line can sometimes become nearer the water. And then this brings in the effect of erosion along coastlines. An example of this is at Manly beach where a sea wall was built to replace a previous one which was destructed after storm waves and large amounts of erosion.


The erosion is one of the main processes effect for coastal management because its the greatest effects next to the coastline and so those problems needs the greatest management.The Other processes that have are relevant to Coastal Management include; corrosion, hydraulic action, abrasion, and various types of waves.
