Key words • Sandy shore: o Loose deposits of sand, gravel or shells that cover the shoreline in many places oConsist of three entities: surf zones, beaches and dunes, linked by the interchange of material particularly sand ( Dyer 1986) oClimate change a change in global or regional climate patterns, apparently from the mid to late 20th century onwards and attributed largely to the increased levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide produced by the use of fossil fuels "climate change".
