    • Strong contrasts between east-facing (Irish Sea) and south-facing (Atlantic) coasts
    • Identification of critical erosion hotspots (e.g., Tramore) and accretion zones in embayments
    • Coastal change is driven by a combination of wave climate, sediment availability, geology, and human activity
