Quizplus · Accepted Answer

By comparing recent and older maps or aerial photographs of the area, one can identify any significant changes in the shoreline. This can help determine if the coastline is stable or unstable. The absence of shoreline-protection structures and the amount of driftwood on the beach may give some indication, but they are not definitive indicators of an unstable coastline. The width of the coastline is also not necessarily a reliable indicator as some stable coastlines may be narrow while others may be wide.
