The Pacific coast is being most starved for sediments due to the damming of rivers, primarily the Columbia and Sacramento Rivers, which reduced the amount of sediment erosion and transport to the coast, leading to erosion and loss of coastal habitats. The Alaskan coast, the Atlantic coast, the Great Lake states, and the Gulf coast are not as affected by sediment starvation due to damming.
