This unit block has massively affected the shaping and the beachfront of that area of Collaroy beach. The coastal processes that are threatening the erosion of the beachfront developments are‚ Erosion/Accretion Cycle (or sediment budget)‚ destructive storm waves and king tides.

This is a discordant coast where the geological sequence has produced distinctive coastal landforms. At Old Harry/Ballard Point and at Durlston Head are outcrops of rocks resistant to erosion. The chalk escarpment which bends from St Oswald’s Bay eastwards to Old Harry increases in width to produce steep 60 metre cliffs. Erosion at

It creates a zone of sheltered water between itself and the coast‚ so that waves will

Some coastal areas are affected more by socio-economic issues than environmental needs‚ or vice versa. However‚ opportunity costs need to be considered when managing coastal areas‚ where both socio-economic and environmental needs should be met. One place where the need to manage the environment is more necessary is in Dubai. However‚ socio-economic issues were highlighted as being more important in Pevensey Bay and the Isle of Wight.
