Paragraph 2
The scientists reported that
like The Gambia and Guinea-Bissau in Africa are predicted to lose over 60% of
beaches. The country to be
affected is Australia, where 12,000km of
could end up underwater
. The researchers wrote
: "A substantial proportion of the world's sandy coastline is already eroding, a situation that could be exacerbated by climate change. [This]...could result in the near
of the world's sandy beaches by the end of the
." Research co-author Dr Michalis Vousdoukas said there were two important ways we could reduce this
and save the beaches. He said we had to, "reduce emissions and manage our coastline in a more
way".
