Coastal Management Strategies

Geomorphology of Coastal Management Strategies refers to the study of landforms and processes along coastlines, focusing on how these physical features influence and are influenced by human interventions aimed at managing coastal environments, such as erosion control, habitat preservation, and sustainable development. This field integrates geological, ecological, and engineering principles to develop effective strategies for maintaining coastal stability and resilience.

Key Terms

Erosion
The process by which soil and rock are removed from the Earth's surface by natural processes.

Example: Coastal erosion can lead to the loss of beaches.

Beach Nourishment
The process of adding sand or sediment to beaches to combat erosion.

Example: Beach nourishment projects are common in tourist areas.

Seawall
A structure built parallel to the shoreline to protect against wave action.

Example: Seawalls are often used in urban coastal areas.

Soft Engineering
Coastal management techniques that work with natural processes.

Example: Planting vegetation to stabilize sand dunes is a form of soft engineering.

Hard Engineering
Coastal management techniques that involve constructing solid structures.

Example: Building a breakwater is an example of hard engineering.

Sustainability
Meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations.

Example: Sustainable coastal management practices help preserve ecosystems.
