Coastal Protection

Coastal protection refers to strategies and structures designed to safeguard coastlines from erosion, flooding, and storm damage. This can include natural solutions, like restoring wetlands and dunes, as well as man-made structures such as seawalls, groynes, and rock revetments. These measures help preserve habitats, protect infrastructure, and maintain beaches, benefiting both the environment and local communities. Effective coastal protection balances human needs with ecological health, ensuring resilience against climate change and rising sea levels while promoting sustainable use of coastal areas.
