- Why is the coastal zone so favoured for development?
- Natural diversity of the coast
- Weather and climate
- Wind strength and direction
- Annual rainfall and average temperature
- Human activities
- Exploitation of resources
- Land developments - loss of biodiversity, habitats and ecosystems
- Intervention with natural systems
- Sea
- Offshore sediment
- Wave energy and direction
- Longshore drift
- Marine ecosystems - SSSI's
- Sea level change
- Size and types of waves (fetch, constructive, deconstructive waves)
- Weather and climate
- Services, goods and products
- Employment in all sectors
- Water resources
- Building materials and resources (sand and timber)
