本文介绍了英国南海岸岩石被腐蚀给当地人的生活带来的影响以及对解决方案的研究。
Angry owners have called on the Government to erect sea defenses to protect their homes. Government surveyors have pointed out that in most cases, this is impossible. New sea walls would cost hundreds of millions of pounds and would merely make the waves and currents go further along the coast, shifting the problem from one area to another. The danger is likely to continue, they say, until the waves reach an inland area of hard rock which will not be eaten as limestone is.
气愤之中的住户要求政府建立海边防御工事保护他们的家园。政府的房地产鉴定员指出大部分的案例都是不可能的。 新的海堤将会花去成几亿英镑。仅仅只能在波浪和潮水沿着海岸传的更远，把问题带到另一个地区，危险很可能继续。他们说除非海浪遇到坚硬的岩石才能不被海浪吞没。 ——译文来自: WEDL
