Answer:
* What is meant by coastal management?
coastal management is a defence technique to prevent or lower the occurrence of flooding and erosion, and ways to stop erosion from claiming lands. Protection against rising sea levels in the 21st century is crucial, as sea level rise accelerates due to climate change.
* Why is coastal management important?
The reason for coastal management is obvious, which is to protect homes and businesses from being damaged and even destroyed by coastal erosion or flooding. Failure to do so can have severe economic and social effects, especially along coastlines which are used for tourism and industry.

Type of Erosion Control<span> </span>Pros of Using this Control
- Jetties - protect buildings on beaches from losing sand
- Breakwaters - Stop the waves from hitting the beach
- Beach Renourishment - easy way to prevent sand erosion
- Planting of dune grasses and plants - roots hold sand together and make it more difficult to wash away
Cons of Using this Control
- can seriously affect the tidal circulation and the health of wetlands
- changes profile of the beach
- can cause bottom organisms and habitats to e smothered by muddy water
- can make the beaches difficult to use for recreation
<span>Paragraph:
</span> I think that Breakwaters<span> are the best to use. One reason is the only major con that is has is changing the profile of the beach instead of harming wildlife and taking away funding (recreational use.) Another reason is that the rocks used provide great climbing tools for beachgoers and might entertain them. A third reason is that breakwaters can be underground as well, not damaging the beach very much. Finally, they save millions of dollars in replacing sand.</span>
