| Definition | Measures aimed at protecting the coast against coastline retreat, thus protecting housing, infrastructure, the coast and the hinterland from erosion often at the expense of losing the beach and the dynamic coastal landscape. Coastal protection measures often consist of the construction of hard structures such as revetments or groynes, but can also consist of less intensive measures such as the planting of Marram grass to aid stabilisation of coastal sand dune systems. | ||
