تجزیه و تحلیل علل و اثرات فرسایش ساحلی و کاهش زیست محیطی در کمربند ساحلی جنوب سریلانکا ویژه اشاره به منطقه ساحلی ناواتونو

The study found that both natural and anthropogenic factors are subjected to coastal erosion in the area. Natural sea waves became more destructive and its incentive increased due to the artificial rock dam (water break) constructed in the area. At present tourism and related human activities have been a stimulus for the coastal erosion. Erosion along the beach in 2007 was at natural level, and it represented 19408.87 m long. In 2011, erosion gradually increased and the length of beach represented as 10081.99 m, and in 2013, sand was pumped into the coast along the beach, thus expanding up to 13389.38 m. The sand pumped into the shore to stop the erosion deposited on coral reefs, and had made bad effects on the bottom dwellers of the sea. Also erosion has made a breakdown of tourist industry indirectly and the economy of the country. Removing the rock dam along the belt was a major suggestion, and several minor strategies are possible to be implemented to minimize this problem.
