There are many geographical processes relevant to coastal management. The first of these is a waste zone. This is the coastal hinterland and the inner continental shelf and everything in-between. There are also others such as sustainable management which is using resources in a way that will meet the needs of the present population without endangering the ability of future generation’s needs.
In coastal management, the weather and condition of the seas is greatly relevant to coastal management. Waves are one of the largest contributors to beach erosion and the like which affect coastal management. Waves are formed by wind blowing over an open stretch of water called a fetch. Other geographical processes that affect coastal management are swash and backwash. These are the movement of waves up the beach caused by the increase of the wave’s height and the spilling over of the crest causing it to break up onto the beach and the movement of wash returning back to the sea.
