Guidelines on:

  • Causes of coastal erosion and coastal flooding
  • Risk classification for coastal erosion and flooding
  • Design philosophy incl. adaptation to climate changes
  • Coastal protection and sea defence methods, and waterfront development schemes
  • Environmental impact assessment

 

Hydraulic study methodology as support for shoreline management:

  • Data collection, field investigations and numerical models

Fourth edition of Shoreline Management Guidelines, 2017. First published in 2001.

 

The ‘Shoreline Management Guidelines’ is is fully aligned with our principle of ‘Working with Nature’.
