Is erosion at Stockton beach worse than erosion at Newcastle beach?

Yes, erosion at Stockton Beach is far worse than at Newcastle Beach.

Basically, the reason for this is because Newcastle Beach can easily replenish its sand via longshore drift and other natural processes. At Stockton, sand is reducing because the Breakwall at Nobby's has created a barrier, therefore preventing Stockton from replenishing its sand through natural processes.

The Newcastle Council is trying to fix this problem, but they cannot simply remove the Breakwall because it is vital for the Coal ports and harbour. Some management strategies include dredging the sand from the harbour, building artificial headlands or artificial reefs, but all of these processes are expensive and time consuming.

What is coastal zoning?

This is also known as red-lining, and is a device used by planners to divide stretches of coast into land use zones.
