Coastlines have long-fascinated people who have been drawn to them as areas of to live, to work and for recreation. Coastlines are, however, dynamic and constantly responding to a range of processes acting upon them. Such change often produces conflict between this sense of dynamic equilibrium and the fixed nature of the coastline demanded by human activities.
