Description Sea or coastal erosion occurs mainly through the
actions of currents and waves and results in the
loss of naturally formed sea walls and sediment in
some places and accretion in others There has been
a dramatic increase in coastal erosion over the last
two decades and is expected to continue as sea level
rises and storm frequency and severity increases.
Bada Yermal and Thenka Yermal in Dakshina Kannada
are minor landing centers where Kairampani (Shore
seine) canoes with the traditional nets and small
entangling nets are operated. Fishing operation
during this year was severely affected due to
extensive sea erosion in the region where the wave
breaker were totally washed off and the adjacent
road was fully destroyed.
