Should Australia protect its coastal areas?
Example:
This essay will argue that coastal areas in Australia need to be protected mainly due to erosion and the economic benefits that consistent surf break bring to the country.
My answer:
The benefits from coastal areas are huge, in terms of economic surfing, mental health and wellbeing, which build positive social life for people and develop the economy. However, this is also a big financial burden and human resources burden for the government to protect the ecosystem and keep safeguarding it. This essay will argue that some coastal areas should be protected for long-term development.
In the long term, protecting coastal areas can improve the employment rate and the business cycle. The reason is about the surfing industry, such as people need a surfboard, leg rope and a wetsuit for surfing. Australia spends over 3700 dollars each year on surfing (Manero, 2024). There are indirect benefits for society and direct benefits for the economy, as there are more than 700 thousand adult surfers who spend more than 2.7 billion dollars each year in the country (Manero, 2024). It figures prove that protecting the coastal areas brings increased investment, stronger local economies and long-term economic sustainability.(And I need cons)
