Your class plans a beach clean-up at a popular bay. A year later the beach is narrower, the water looks cloudy after rain, and snorkellers say the reef looks ‘sick’. What changed, and how can people fix it? Think like a geographer: Beach loss is often not just ‘waves’. It can be a chain reaction: land activities → water quality → reefs → wave energy → sand movement.
