Beach resort's concern (7)

I believe the answer is:

erosion

(Other definitions for erosion that I've seen before include "Gradual decline" , "Mechanical process of wearing something down" , "The gradual wearing away by weather" , "The wearing away by water or weather" , "A wearing away as of rock by water" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
