Answer to Question 1

Answer: Greenland

Answer to Question 2

Answer: For instance: (1) By nourishing beaches by dumping or pumping sand just up current from the beach so the beach becomes wider and protects the shore better or allows better recreation opportunities. (2) Place groins at right angles to the shoreline. This slows the wave action behind them allowing some additional sand to be deposited. Unfortunately, both actions are expensive and do not stop the basic problem of more beach erosion than deposition in some areas.
