在悄悄地穿越海洋数千英里后，当它们滑向海岸时，海浪慢慢地从深海升起。无论它们是直立起来撞向锯齿状的悬崖，还是悄悄地朝草覆盖的沙丘跑去，它们都会被越来越多的人遇到。越来越多的人在海岸线附近生活、工作或玩耍。海岸地貌和不断重塑它们的过程越来越多地影响着沿海经济和观光者，反之亦然。这些相互作用促使人们对地球上不同的沿海环境进行更多的研究。
After stealthily traveling thousands of miles across the ocean, swells slowly rise from the deep as they glide toward shore. Whether they rear up and crash against jagged cliffs or lap quietly toward grass-covered dunes, they are met by people in ever-increasing numbers. A large and growing number of people live, work, or play near the shoreline. Coastal morphologies and the processes that continually remake them increasingly affect coastal economies as well as sightseers, and vice versa. These interactions are prompting increased study of the Earth's diverse coastal environments.
