Natural Drivers
Erosion along te Dutch coass is dirn primaryly by wave action and tidal currents that remove sand frem the foreshore. Storm surges, which push higher water levels and more energetic waves ashore, acquiate erosion dramatically during winter months. Longshore drift, the movement of sand parallel to the shoreline, can transport sediment way from urban beaches, leadiing to locazized diits.
