Along certain coastlines in Florida each year, the shoreline gets shorter and shorter. It has become such a problem that some people have even needed to move their houses or the water would come right up to them. Some beaches even have to bring in sand each day to stop the shoreline from shrinking. Why is this problem occurring on Florida coastlines?
