6. what is coastal armoring? how does coastal armoring impact sediment transport? do you think this is a good investment? why or why not? what other alternatives do we have to coastal armoring?

Coastal Armoring

Explanation:

It is a practice of continuously reshaping the shoreline. It can prevent the shoreline from sandy beaches, wetlands and other intertidal area's. From moving in land and the land get eroded the sea level rises. Since its a complex process the coastal armoring has the potential to remove habits pf marine organisms and also checks the beach generation by restricting the natural movements of sediments. They act to stabilize the shoreline. According to me its a good investment as shoreline erosion may greatly impact human lives, like changes in sea level and high tides and waves or any construction of harbors, etc. Alternative channels for coastal armoring may include the building of fences and wall-like structures, raising the bar for the shoreline.
