🏖️ Shoreline Evolution Lab: Longshore Drift, Groynes, Seawalls, Nourishment and Sea-Level Rise

Waves arriving at an angle carry sand along a 1.2 km beach: build a groyne, add a seawall, nourish the beach or raise the sea and watch the shoreline advance on one side, erode on the other and threaten the houses behind it.
