Hawkes Bay beach erosion blamed on climate change in active earthquake zone

This NZ Herald story “One summer left: On Haumoana’s beachfront, the climate-change hourglass is ticking” clearly blaming “climate-change” for the loss of beach front houses. The article fails to mention the areas frequent earth tremors from seismic activity, 8 quakes moderate and stronger just to the south in the last 10 months, nearby mapped active fault scarps and the area is liquefaction prone.
Is it a surprise that periodic shakes & tremors from a variety of quakes should weaken the poorly consolidated shoreline sediments beneath the foundations of these unwisely sited houses?
