Along England's east coast, people's homes are disappearing.
The sea's relentless force is causing rapid coastal erosion
at an accelerating and alarming pace. An increase in storm
surges, intensified by increasingly erratic weather patterns,
are devastating the sandy cliffs in Norwich.
"Over time those storms will have a bigger impact, be more
extreme in line with the changes that we expect with climate
change so we need to be prepared for that and how to prepare
communities to be able to be resilient and withstand those
kind of events," explains Sophie Day, an expert in coastal
erosion.

Hey ! DUMB-ASSES !!! The medieval notion that "land"
and "sea" are magically distinct things needs to
DISAPPEAR, like NOW.
Sea ALWAYS changes Land, and vice-versa. It's ongoing.
In short, if you build stuff right on the current
seashore, do NOT expect it to be there in 100 years.
Everything is going to CHANGE. Not beaches, not
mountains ... ALL is forever in FLUX until the
Earth is finally consumed by the sun.
Oh, we've got under a billion years until the Earth
is uninhabitable ... so BETTER GET MOVING on the
Big Relocation ! 4 Billion until Andromeda trashes
this galaxy too, so better plant to relocate WELL
outside the disaster zone. "Humans" then ... nope.
However, maybe, something "derived" ......
