I wanted to know how long the coast line is and I found the following information on the web.
This a view of the coastline near Rio de Janerio (Hodges)
Please refer to the video itself for location as for some reason I can't get this blog to let me type below the video. I have a lot to learn before I finish this class. Below is some of the sites I looked at.

your country has a LOT of coastline..and I'm sure the solutions are complex and involve a lot of different parties...I wonder what the erosion rates are...any idea?
ReplyDeleteInformative, awesome and easy to read/navigate blog which like my blog has gotten better over the weeks. Haiti has much less coastline, but more coastal erosion, somewhere between .25 up to 9 meters.
