In both cases erosion may be reduced, if not eliminated, if a gentler shoreline curvewas to develop, rather than the existing abrupt change in orientation as shown in Figure 15and Figure 16. It seems probable that such pathways will eventually emerge as a result of thedifferential erosion and accretion on both sections of coast.Protection Measures
