The average depth of Cronulla beach is just 40m‚ which is the same level of coastal erosion expected by 2050 if no steps are taken to reduce the impacts of climate change. This recession would reduce the depth of Cronulla Beach to the same disturbing levels that occurred after the 1974 storm surges‚ meaning that the beach amenity area at Cronulla would be completely non-existent. The social implications of coastal erosion in Cronulla are huge‚ with the expectation of a complete loss‚ or at the

1. Why is Mappleton threatened by coastal erosion? The plain of Holderness did not exist before the Ice Age. It was once a wide bay backed by chalk cliffs running from Flamborough Head to Hessle‚ west of the city of Hull. Today Holderness is made up of glacial tills – sands and clays deposited by ice sheets during the Ice Age (Figure 4). The tills are soft and unstable and have little resistance to erosion. The low cliffs repeatedly slump down along rotational slip planes‚ lubricated by water which

Coastal Management Whilst researching about Coastal Management on Cronulla beaches‚ I have discovered that Coastal Management along the beach is required. To manage the coast we must be aware of the effect of human activity‚ erosion and decaying of the sand dunes as they destroy the beach but the Council has helped prevent these issues. One of the main issues is erosion; erosion is the process of wearing something down due to the action of water and wind. If erosion goes left unattended‚ the beach
