Coastal erosion is the process by which ocean waves wash sand and other parts of a beach away from shore, causing the beach itself to shrink. Coastal erosion is a natural process that causes beaches to change over time. However, human development on beaches and strong storms exacerbate coastal erosion. Because beaches are a profitable tourism industry, it is often in an area's economic interest to stop natural and unnatural coastal erosion, if possible. One technique is beach replenishment.
