The earth gives us many things: air, water, shelter, food and energy. We cannot live without these, but we have to use them carefully, to make sure they last, and that we do not harm the world around us.
Coasts - where the land ends and the sea begins - play an important part in the way the earth works.
'Earth Alert! Coasts' tells you about:
- All the different landforms such as cliffs, beaches and estuaries
- The amazing variety of coastal animals and plants
- How, surprisingly, most people in the world live near coasts
- How coasts can be both damaged and protected
With pictures and examples from around the world, and activities to help you understand more, this book shows how coasts everywhere can be managed for the future.
