Abstract
Coastal geomorphology, coastal protection and management in Denmark and Sweden were investigated through a field study and collaboration with local researchers. Coastal managementregulations and protection schemes such as the right of public access to the beach and groin system have been well established in Denmark since 1241 and early 19th century, respectively. In Sweden a few coasts are protected against waves by artificial structures and most of southern coasts are allowed to change in natural manner. In Denmark beach nourishment is preferred and becomes major coastal protection scheme in recent years. Danish experience and knowledge are useful to future activity of beach nourishment in Japan.
