Introduction

Abstract:

This scientific blog aims to inform North Carolinians about the erosion issues that coincide with anthropogenic impacts, specifically how beach property is a problematic factor of erosion. This blog is split into 3 posts: coastal erosion as a global issue, North Carolina’s coastal erosion, and the impacts of erosion and its potential solutions. It highlights the negative impacts that coastal erosion has on beach communities, but also how this erosion is greatly attributed to human impact. The primary goal of this blog is to educate and inform citizens of North Carolina about the rates of erosion, why it occurs and how we can try to prevent this from being an increasing issue.
