coastal management
Let an agent explain coastal management approaches and their trade-offs, describe how coastal plans are made and governed, present debates such as defend versus retreat with attribution, and support learning.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent explain coastal management approaches and their trade-offs, describe how coastal plans are made and governed, present debates such as defend versus retreat with attribution, and support learning.
The planning and engineering of coastal zones to protect against erosion and flooding and to balance development, ecosystems and public use, through hard structures such as sea walls and groynes, soft measures such as beach nourishment and hydraulic fill, managed retreat, and integrated coastal zone management that coordinates stakeholders across sectors; coastal management is shaped by sea level rise, storms and land use pressure, and is governed by national and regional policy.
What it is for: Managing coasts against erosion and flooding.
It can be explain approaches; describe planning and governance; present debates; support learning.
