C OASTS  are so important in the UK

O PEN to the Atlantic Ocean ~ West

A ND the North Sea on the East ~ and to the

S TORMY  English Channel on the South side 

T HE UK\'s a triangle ~ surrounded

A LL SIDES by water ~ which both protects ~ but

L ASHES  us with waves ~ every DAY & NIGHT !

 

E ROSION  is inevitable on

R UGGED  coasts ~ so exposed to the Oceans

O UR houses are falling into the sea

S TORMS are more severe ~ Sea levels rising 

I T IS DUE to Global Warming ! Sand Dunes

O N  West Coast of England ~ twenty-one miles
