IN New Zealand the rate of retrogradation of the shore is very rapid on the cliff d mountainous coasts in the vicin ty W llington, largely because of a steep offshore profile and restricted supply of beach-making waste.1 The scour of strong tidal currents in the narrows of Cook Strait prevents the accumulation of locally derived waste as a shelf and little sand is brought in from outside sources by transport alongshore. In general it may be said that only a hungry ocean gains advantage on the kingdom of the shore. Marine erosion is, on the other hand, unquestionably slowed down by an abundant supply of sand which may be
