The sea is advancing on the Brazilian coast, and in some places, the change is already impossible to ignore.

Beaches are losing sand, houses are being threatened, and entire structures are disappearing.

In this video, you will learn about *10 beaches and regions of the Brazilian coast that are already facing coastal erosion*, with cases documented by researchers, universities, municipalities, and public agencies.

You will discover:

→ The beach in Ceará where a single storm surge destroyed walkways, containment structures, and advanced over the dunes.

→ The coastal city in São Paulo that, according to researchers, is facing a process of sea encroachment capable of causing residents to lose their homes and their own history.

→ Iemanjá Square in João Pessoa, which was swallowed up after years of coastal erosion.

→ The city in Paraíba that had its state of public calamity officially recognized because of the advancing sea.

→ The beach in Natal that needed tons of sand to artificially rebuild its protective strip.

→ And the most worrying fact: studies indicate that **more than 40% of the northeastern coast may be at risk of severe erosion**, while global projections indicate that a significant portion of the planet's sandy beaches could disappear by 2100.

But ultimately: will Brazil lose its beaches?

The problem is not just the rise in sea level. Constructions too close to the coast, ports, groynes, dams, and other interventions can also alter the natural path of the sand and accelerate erosion.

This video brings together cases to show what is already happening — and what could happen to the Brazilian coast in the coming decades.
