Seattle Times: Experts say the project at Herring Cove Beach on Cape Cod is a rare example of managed retreat, which involves moving away from the coastline. It is a simple pleasure in a classic summertime locale: Pull a car between the stripes on the parking lot, a ribbon of asphalt parallel to the water atop a sloped wall in the sand, and look out over the beach, where one can see Cape Cod Bay meeting the Atlantic Ocean. Amid the unearthly dunes, Herring Cove Beach and its north parking lot draw locals...

'Climate change, erosion pushing new generations to poverty along Ganga'
2016-06-28 05:14:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Money Life: Climate change and vicious river bank erosion in the post-Farakka Barrage period have blurred the lines between the rich and the poor and are pushing successive generations to grinding poverty along the lower stretches of the mighty Ganga in West Bengal. The frequent nature of erosion is induced by hydraulic control by the commissioning of the barrage in 1975 and Indo-Bangladesh water sharing treaty of 1977 and 1996, experts say.

ABC Australia: There are renewed calls for national monitoring of Australian beaches in the wake of severe storms which washed away homes and other waterside properties along the east coast. The Water Research Laboratory at the University of New South Wales, led by Professor Ian Turner, has been monitoring Narrabeen and Collaroy beaches, two of the hardest hit in the weekend's storms, for 40 years. "We've seen quite large erosion, particularly in the southern ends of the beaches," Professor Turner told 7.30....
