Reduced coastal erosion: The primary goal of coastal protection works is to reduce or prevent erosion of beaches, dunes, and cliffs. This can be achieved through structures like seawalls, groins, breakwaters, and beach nourishment.
Protection of infrastructure and property: Coastal protection works can help protect coastal infrastructure, such as roads, buildings, and ports, from damage caused by storms and waves.
Improved coastal resilience: By reducing erosion and protecting infrastructure, coastal protection works can help improve the resilience of coastal communities to climate change and sea level rise.
Enhanced coastal ecosystems: Some coastal protection works, such as artificial reefs and beach nourishment, can actually enhance coastal ecosystems by providing habitat for marine life and improving water quality.
