The regional distribution of shoreline erosion and accretion largely reflects changes in littoral drift cells, decreases in sediment supply, and continuing relative sea-level rise including compactional subsidence. Shoreline erosion is caused by the complex interaction of climate, sediment budget, coastal processes, relative sea-level conditions, and human activities. Present data indicate that most of the Texas Coast will continue to retreat landward as part of a long-term erosional trend.coastal erosioncoastal morphologygeologycoastal zoneerosiongeological historycoastal processesBook
