Coastal management is defence against flooding and erosion, and techniques that stop erosion to claim lands. ... Changes in sea level damage beaches and coastal systems are expected to rise at an increasing rate, causing coastal sediments to be disturbed by tidal energy.
Hard Engineering Techniques
Sea Walls. These are the most obvious defensive methods. ... Groynes. Groynes are relatively soft hard engineering techniques. ... Gabions. Gabions are quite simply bundles of rocks in a metal mesh. ... Revetments. ... Riprap. ... Breakwaters. ... Tidal barriers. ... Beach Nourishment.
