i think geographical issue as in coastal management/land and water management/spatial inequality/air quality etc that kinda thing.

but you could defintely use 'erosion' in coastal management or land and water management.

hope that was helpful.

whoops misread your message. well i did coastal management as whole geo issue. we focused on coastal erosion, high level of urbanisation in coastal areas, urban runoff/littering, etc. so theres more ideas for you. i can't see why you're doing erosion as the main topic though ?? hmm.

well anyways
government- concentrate more funding in the managing the coast- and strategies as well. Local councils can hold a community debate, thus allowing all views on the issue- promoting social equity. Introducing new legislations to protect the coast.
Groups: using effective campaigns to get their message across.
individuals- join independent orgainisations like coastcare to promote active citizenship and ecological sustainable development.

that's all i can think of at the moment !
hope that was of some help.

Well to describe just define erosion and it's effect on the environment
Impacts- well just describe the effects on farmers, home owners for example an erosion underneath a home can cause it to collapse
groups: what groups are there to deal with the problem e.g landcare
governments: mostly explain legislation to deal with erosion or funding for example narrabeen council funds costal management schemes and bays for sand replenishment
