He said: "I know one farmer who has lost around 12 acres of farmable land to erosion. Not only does this cut down on his farming income but he also loses out on the Single Farm Payment, which is reduced due to having less land.
"I am calling on more measures to be taken to protect our coastline and coastal habitat so it is important we put in place a strategy to stop this erosion."
