Turbulence can include out-flow from desalinization plants if poorly designed.
Erosion prevention and turbulence mitigation are important subjects for anyone doing building to understand, even on an individual property, and near a lake, stream, river, reservoir or pond.

How does erosion affect how fast a coastline erodes?
Well, since sand is already very eroded rock a coastline would probably be affected more if the coast was rocky. The type of rock also would affect the rate of erosion. Sedimentary rock erodes faster than igneous and metamorphic im pretty sure. hope it helps.
What is a smooth coastline?
Made up of clay and sands. Erodes quicker than hard rock which is limestone or chalk. Not resistant to weathering and erosion. Eroded quicker than hard rock which creates a bay and the hard rock is called a headland. When you have hard rock then soft rock alternating it is called a discordant coastline.
