Coastal erosion is caused by development projects on the coast, leading to disasters and irreversible damage. By analyzing sediment changes, researchers can link erosion to specific causes like port structures. A study on the east coast found that the construction of Hajeo port contributed to 93.4% of erosion, while coastal road construction caused 6.6% of erosion. This shows that human activities can significantly impact coastal erosion.
