Of course.

There is one point I would like to address.

We know about erosion, and we recognize the impact of wave action, but those effects are nevertheless hard to assess based on the data we currently have.

The effects on protective infrastructure, which we've been discussing for the past few minutes, are hard to assess, partly because they aren't in perfect condition. They're coming to the end of their useful life and can't really meet present needs. This infrastructure is 50 years old in some cases. It's far from new.
