Erosion is the process by which large storms, flooding, strong wave action, sea level rise, and human activities wear away beaches and bluffs along coastlines. All beaches are affected by storms and other natural events that cause erosion; however, the extent and severity of the problem differs in different parts of the country, and so there is no one-size-fits-all solution.
