Outline the main geographical processes relevant to Coastal Management.


The main geographical processes relevant to Coastal Management are, one, constructing houses around lagoons and swamps, the use of wetlands for landfills and the development of sand dunes, two, in certain part of Australia, some minerals can be mined from beach sands to produce of paints and industrial tools, three, stone breakwaters stretching far out to sea are also constructed around ports and marinas to reduce the impact of waves and tidal fluctuations, four, in large cities generate an enormous amount of contaminated storm water and rainwater run-off which pollutes our waterways and damage fragile coastal ecosystems.
