Monsoon Winds Intensify Coastal Erosion in Salcete

Monsoon Winds Intensify Coastal Erosion in Salcete

Imagine the ocean is like a giant bathtub, and the beaches are like the sand castles you build.

During the monsoon season, strong winds and big waves come in, like someone splashing too hard!

This causes the sea to take away the sand, making the beaches smaller and changing how they look.

The beaches of Colva, Benaulim, and Betalbatim are getting hurt the most.

Also, some plants called water hyacinth are washing up on the shore, making a mess.

If this keeps happening, the beaches might disappear, which would be bad for the environment and people who like to visit or live there.
