A shoreline that is retreating steadily over decades most likely has

  • A.an unusually small tidal range
  • B.no wave action reaching it at all
  • C.a positive sediment budget for the frontage
  • D.a negative sediment budget for the frontage

Answer: D

Persistent retreat implies losses exceeding supply over the long term. Identifying which budget term is responsible is the first step towards any sensible response. Treating a symptom without the cause rarely succeeds.
