What are some problems wave erosion can cause for shipping and commerce?

Wave erosion can create shallow areas or sandbars that can obstruct shipping lanes, increasing the risk of shipwrecks and navigational accidents. It can also erode Coastlines, destabilizing port infrastructure like docks and breakwaters, leading to additional maintenance costs and disruptions in commerce. Additionally, wave erosion can impact the safety of harbors by reducing the depth of water, restricting access for larger vessels.
