Natural and Human impacts on erosion:

Human impacts that pose a threat to erosion at Cronulla beach include coastal
development and removal of dune vegetation. Coastal development, for example,
may involve the building of infrastructure which is too close to the shoreline,
potentially causing erosion at Cronulla beach. Moreover, the removal of dune
vegetation leads to destabilization of dunes and the process of erosion at Cronulla
beach. Natural impacts on erosion include wind speed, climate change and rainfall.
For instance, strong winds may contribute to erosion as sand is maneuvered at a
fast rate and moved to other areas.
