Why Are Taiwan's Coasts Disappearing Faster Than Anywhere Else?

Why Are Taiwan's Coasts Disappearing Faster Than Anywhere Else? As its economy took off and Taiwan took its place as one of the "Four Asian Tigers," the country began rapid coastal development. Ports, silos, hotels and piers were built all across the island, especially on the industrialized west coast. Now, experts believe that the natural north-south flow of silt and sand that once moved with the seasons and kept the coastline in balance has been thrown into chaos, and entire areas of human development are at risk of being swept into the sea. This episode looks at the risk Taiwan faces and the movement to allow nature back into its own management.
