1) The issue affects local residents in the sense that in the event of a disaster such as a hurricane, tornado, or large waves- citizens living on the coast will no longer be protected by the natural barriers that are coastal beaches.
2) Coastal erosion not only poses a danger to it's species, but also tourism- eroded beaches are not only hard to access, but not very appealing, or safe for that matter. This brings down tourism to the area, people will no longer be visiting the beaches in that area, bringing down local businesses that survive off of visitors.
3) Our government is now charging taxes to build man made structures in order to slow down the effects of erosion, state coastal parks are also charging higher entrance fees in order to fund the restoration of the park, and the local government is suffering due to beach complaints from residents.
4) Beach erosion is causing a downfall in the investment of beaches here in the United States, the solution would be beach nourishment- we would start purchasing outsourced labor and artificial sand overseas and here at home in order to complete the project.
5) An increase in the demand for artificial sand, cheap labor and trucks to carry said sand, beach erosion causes financial loss due to the destruction of property, and goods and services for the area relating to sand production as well as laborers increase.
