    Probably coastal erosion and nothing to do with global warming.

    I think it's so cute that they're calling on the government to change the ocean's tides.

    You might follow the example of the Dutch :Continuous drainage is necessary to keep Holland from flooding. In earlier centuries windmills were used for this task. The landscape was (and in places still is) dotted with windmills, which have become a symbol of Holland.
