One major ways for the survival of all organisms is called adaptation. When it comes to Intertidal Organisms their no different.

which interruptions to the movement of sand or shingle along the beaches or near shore sea bed do not significantly affect beaches in the adjacent lengths of coastline. In addition to this‚ it can also be referred to a sediment that is moved along the coast by long shore drift appears to form part of a circular cell which leads to it eventually returning up drift. Dredging of offshore shingle banks can therefore contribute to beach depletion. Also‚ sediment cell includes coastal processes which are all

the coastal management expert of Southerland Shire I have come up with the most appropriate way to manage this problem. Storm surges are effects of severe storm systems due to a rise in sea level‚ if a storm surge and a tide meet when reaching the coast line severe damage can occur; resulting in extreme flooding in coastal areas‚ leading to damaging buildings surrounding the coastline. To prevent this problem and minimize storm surges having such a large impact and causing severe damage to the coastline

Rias then might impact floodplains that are used for the grazing of farm animals‚ etc. Examples of rias include Devon and Dartmoor‚ Cornwall. Another submergent coastal feature could be fjords. Fjords are drowned glacial valleys commonly found on the coasts of Norway and New Zealand. However you also have to consider the socioeconomic impacts of rising sea levels caused by global warming. Increased erosion for example‚ leads to the loss of land and settlements. This is especially the case in
