Environmental Forces at the Coastline and Implications for Coastal Defence
Abstract Waves tides and currents exert continuous, and sometimes formidable, forces on the shoreline. The response of the shoreline is a function of these forces together with the geological make-up of the seabed and the coast. The nature of this response is a major factor in the process of determining the correct measures to defend the coast from erosion or from flooding. This paper reviews the significance of these coastal forces and outlines some methods for determining them. Three example cases are presented in the second part of the paper.
