The
Issue: Coastal
erosion
in the
United
States
is responsible
for approximately
$500
million
per year
in property
loss
to coastal
property
owners,
including
damage
to structures
and loss
of land.
There
are many
types
of natural
hazards,
such
as hurricanes
and shoreline
erosion,
which
affect
everyone
who lives
and works
on the
coast.
The forces
of nature
cannot
be controlled,
but those
who live
or work
near
the coast
can learn
how to
protect
their
homes,
communities
and businesses.
Sea
Grant: Sea Grant
efforts can
and will
enhance preparedness
and reduce
losses of
human life,
property
and environmental
resources
from coastal
natural hazards.
