a series of coral reefs is located near a coastline in 3-5 sentences construct an argument about how people can help prevent erosion to the coastline.

Coral communities are made up of small organisms called polyps. Hard and soft corals make up reefs that are the basis of many coastal habitats. Healthy reefs offer many benefits, they thrive near the surface, and support several species of marine life and coral; they lessen the action of destructive waves and lessen the occurrence of coastal erosion. People can prevent erosion through installing artificial reefs, preserving sand dunes and keeping coastal vegetation.

Artificial reefs are man-made underwater structures which ideally function like naturally occurring ones.
Similarly, sand dunes and coastal vegetation serve to protect beaches from strong winds and flooding which can displace sand and erode the coastline, leading to loss of land and property.
