  1. ‘Vulnerable and extremely precious’: Italy ramps up coastal protection as erosion worsens

    Italy has more than 8,000 kilometres of coastline, ranging from long sweeps of sandy beach to striking rock…

  5. Australia’s beaches are not just postcard scenery. They are living ecosystems, natural storm barriers and places of deep cultural and community value. As climate change accelerates sea level rise and extreme weather, coastal erosion is becoming impossible to ignore. This is not a distant future problem. It is happening now, reshaping shorelines and putting homes, wildlife and public access at risk.
    The answer is not endless seawalls and short term fixes that push the problem further down the coast. We need smarter planning, protection of dunes and wetlands, and a serious commitment to working with nature rather than against it. Saving our beaches means stronger climate action, better coastal policy and leadership that values long term resilience over quick political wins.

    Difficult decisions are going to have to made and there needs to be more of a national conversation I agree.

    At the moment we’re framing it around holiday homes, caravans and in this recent case in #Happisburgh - graves of the dead:

    These things are nice to preserve, but not vital. The risk will soon be to whole communities.

  7. Ireland's east coast railway line from Dublin to Wicklow is in trouble. #ClimateChange has accelerated #coastalErosion, requiring protective works which will impede the glorious sea views.

    The northern part of the route, from #Dublin to #DunLaoghaire, is one of the oldest in the world. The Dublin and Kingstown Railway opened in 1834, only 4 years after the pioneering Liverpool and Manchester Railway. The line continued to Dalkey in the 1840s, and to Wicklow in 1854. >>

  8. Rocks in the Misty Surf of West Cork

    The restless Atlantic waves become ghostly veils of white mist caressing the rocks on Owenahincha Beach, Co Cork.

    Henry shared a photo of this same rock yesterday. There are lovely swirls of water in his photo.

  14. Toxic waste is spilling onto beaches as rising seas erode landfills.

    To the already very long list of problems caused by global warming, add toxic waste in old landfills exposed by coastal erosion and polluting beaches and seas.

  15. #nswweather Huge swells and a powerful king tide have battered Sydney beaches, forcing Botany Bay residents to evacuate overnight as homes were inundated. A warning is in place for hazardous surf and coastal erosion from the Illawarra to the Hunter. Stay safe!

  16. [Short Film]: #SandsOfTime: #CoastalErosion in #SouthernAlaska

    "This short documentary by Anna Hoover of #BristolBay, #Alaska, presents the realities of coastal erosion by witnessing the experience of Bristol Bay community members. Interviews, local archives, and ancestral knowledge put the circumstances in stark relief, detailing the communities’ adjustments to the retreating coastline."

  23. #ClimateDiary We visited #BirlingGap yesterday for first time in a while: the Cafe at the front is now moved to the back and the whole front of building will be demolished. Of course all this was inevitable but it is still sad to see #CoastalErosion bit by bit destroying all these iconic landscapes and landmarks around here. I always loved that cafe. #EastSussex #SouthDowns #SeaLevelRise

  24. My #day26 map for the #30DayMapChallenge is more symbolic for the Minimal (less is more) theme. Plaquemines Parrish, Louisiana sits at the nexus of the Mississippi River and the Gulf of Mexico. Less coastal erosion and fewer saltwater intrusions will bring more ecosystem benefits. Map shows a false color infrared composite of a Landsat 9 scene texturized. Living vegetation is red and water is dark blue.

  25. Diggers Beach is located in #Coffs Coast Regional Park. Masked lapwings patrol the surfline. White-faced Herons pick their way through the dunes and White breasted sea eagles soar over the beach. The flowering coastal banksias are overpowered with flocks of Lorikeets.The Horsetail Casuarinas are rich with seeds for the Glossy Black #Cockatoos.
    The beach is supposed to be dog free, as dogs are not permitted in National Parks and Nature Reserves. Locals regularly set their pets free on this beach. Like all other NSW beaches there is never any enforcement.

    The beach is buffered by a thin strip of native vegetation separating it from the many car parks and picnic areas behind it. The official beach access is via two #ViewingPlatforms. The two major #loookouts have been constructed to lead motorists to these platforms so they can see. Every few meters impatient people/ motorists have trailblazed numerous extra trails to the beach and bush in between the designated viewing platforms. Each newly made trail slowly erodes. The mostly native vegetation scaffolding the dunes from ocean storms is eroding. Large banksias and huge pandanus topple down the dunes.
    Additionally, the absence of effective #ClimateAction increases the #CoastalErosion damage. The tourist infrastructure collapses. The constructions crumble like cardboard and the foundational pillars are exposed and washed down the beach. Various anthropogenic rubble is then sloshed along the beach.
