**5.3 Coastal erosion**

The last 10,000 years (Holocene) have been a warm period, and the climate warming process has been accelerated by global warming attributable to the release of CO2 into the atmosphere through the industrial period, which in turn resulted in some retreat of the coastline. Coastal erosion has recently occurred in some parts of the Pontine Plain, so the Latina coastline has been nourished by the Latina Municipality. There is strong evidence that the coast is retreating in the Latium coastal region, so nourishing is urgently needed along this coast.
