Abstract
Coastal erosion is a world‐wide occurrence, principally along sea shores but also seen along many lake shorelines. It has been reported in the literature for several decades that it entails considerable economic consequences, for instance endangers valuable properties. The rise in water level is a major cause of the phenomenon, but anthropic actions have also played an important part. Stopping coastal erosion and halting shoreline retreat is considered impossible. Reducing the rate of erosion and restoring endangered areas, on the other hand, falls within the reach of coastal engineers. Various approaches have been tried with unequal success and, occasionally, with undesired if not unexpected consequences.
