Shifting sands: The influence of coral reefs on shoreline erosion from short-term storm protection to long-term disequilibrium by Stephan A Bitterwolf, Borja G Reguero, Curt D Storlazzi, Michael W Beck

“…Firstly, we find evidence for the role of reefs in mitigating shoreline erosion during storm events, with coral reef-protected beaches experiencing 97 % less beach volume loss than unprotected beaches. Secondly, a linear regression analysis demonstrates that coral reef structure and wave energy are important predictors of long-term shoreline erosion rates, explaining 34 % of the variation across the Hawaiian Islands. …”
