WhyDoWeStudyOceanWaves??

"Location, location, location." This phrase is widely used, but it is also beneficial to those looking to purchase land around the ocean, and on the coastline. Wave erosion is a big contendor to property on the coasts. Wave erosion is when the land is removed by wave action, tidal waves and wave currents. Once about half the lot is gone, buyers realize that soon there won't be any lot left. By studying the rate of erosion potential buyers are able to guesstimate wether or not it is worth is to purchase the lot of intrest. This is beneficial in knowing if they are making the right decision in purchasing the land, or it it will become nothing but ocean floor.
