What are coastlines?
When used as a noun, coast means the part of the land near the sea; the edge of the land. When used as 'the Coast', it means the Pacific coast of North America. Coast can also mean a run or movement in or on a vehicle without the use of power.
How does coastal erosion affect the coast?
A coastline may exist on a plate boundary and be subject to uplift and/or volcanism by plate tectonics. Coastlines are also areas where calcareous animals such as coral live and build huge reefs which are considered fossiliferous stone. Coastlines at estuaries are great repositories for eroded rock entering through rivers which drain mountain ranges and land masses. Through water movement, larger land rocks are eventually pulverized into solution. Geology will determine the appearance of the coastine, whether it's rocky, sandy, or gently sloping. The color of the sand will be determined by what rocks are eroding near the coast. And finally, the effects of erosion can cause a coastline to recede and eventually disappear or through volcanism, to appear and expand, both being the case with the Hawaiian Islands.

How do groyne work?
Groynes are placed so as to reduce coastal (or riverside) erosion. In the coastal case, they interrupt the flow of sediment along the coast, and accumulate it alongside the groyne. They are only temporary, though with a life of decades. Riverside groynes rely upon their mass to prevent current erosion of the riverbank. They will not usually accumulate sediments in any great quantity.
