Sometimes you need to be ready to give something away to save it. The coasts of Earth’s oceans are like that. Many of these, which are not preserved by governments, are prime development-land. But the only way we might preserve them is by moving these developments away from the coasts, give these back to Mother Nature, and let her grow forests and salt-water marshes on them. At the very least this will greatly slow their erosion, and, if we otherwise slow down climate change, they may even be able to reclaim some land that was previously under water.
