The MGB defined coastal erosion as 'a natural phenomenon leading to the formation of a cliff 100 meters from the shoreline'.

• The Mines and Geo-Sciences Bureau is an agency under the Philippines government whose definitions and specifications on certain geological processes are considered to be a benchmark in the understanding of contemporary geology.
• Among the many definitions that the MGB has provided, is the definition of coastal erosion.
• Coastal erosion is the process whereby there is a loss of land and long-term removal of sediment and rocks along the coastline. It is caused by agencies like running water, ice, storms etc over the course of hundreds of years.
• There are various adverse impacts of the process of coastal erosion, which is only likely to increase given the rise in sea levels due to global warming. Some of them included the destruction of animal habitats as well as aesthetic losses.
