Human Causes of Coastal Change

Students go to https://pubs.usgs.gov/circ/c1075/change.html and find the sections outlining human interventions on coastlines. Write a paragraph outline each intervention of the interventions:

Pollution
Sediment Trapping
Coastal Degradation
Water-Level Changes

Students complete a case study on the human causes of coastal change at Clovelly and Gordon’s Bay using the Case Study: Clovelly and Gordon’s Bay Worksheet.
