Innovations in Coastal Protection

2005
Shore protection strategies include adjusting the activities of man (management) and adjustments to the physical system (engineering). Engineering activities fall into three classes: coastal hardening (armoring), reducing the transport and loss of littoral sediment, and adding sediment to the littoral system.

Economic and social demands for coastal protection

Coastal Engineering, 2005
The purpose of this paper is to present methods and examples of economic valuation in the framework of cost–benefit analysis of coastal defense schemes. We summarize the concepts of value in economics and their application to coastal erosion defense. We describe the results of an original benefit transfer exercise on beach recreation, that is, whether ...

Coastal protection in Singapore

Cahiers du Centre nantais de recherche pour l'aménagement régional, 1994
Artificial changes to the coastline of Singapore dated from the 1820s. From 1960s large-scale reclamation was carried out to meet the demand for economic development. Two major methods were used to protect the newly reclaimed land : seawalls and revetments and breakwaters deployed in series. The use of the methods depends on a number of factors such as

Coastal Protection for Ada, Ghana: a Case Study

Coastal Management, 2015
Along the northwest African coast average rates of coastal retreat are between 1 and 2 m per year. In Ada, Ghana, the shoreline retreat rates have been in excess of 6 m per year at some specific locations. As a result of the ongoing erosion, various properties and existing infrastructure are being damaged and destroyed; also, due to the poor condition
