Erosion victim urges ‘trauma tourists’ to stop intrusive behaviour

What happened: Shelley Cowlin, affected by coastal erosion, has criticised people taking photos of damaged or at-risk homes and reports of theft in the area.

Why it matters:

  • Intrusive behaviour adds distress to residents already coping with property loss.
  • Theft and trespassing raise safety and security concerns for vulnerable communities.

MNN Take: As coastal erosion threatens homes, residents face not only physical loss but also emotional strain from unwelcome visitors exploiting their situation.
