Introduction

 Coastal engineering plays a crucial role in addressing the challenges


posed by climate changes,sea-level rise, and morphological changes
in coastal ares. The field involves the development of structures,
transportation, and stabilization of beach sand and coastal sediments
to mitigate the impacts of erosion, flooding, and contamination.
 Coastal engineering involves the practice of civil engineering, as well
as the sciences of oceanography and coastal geology, to control
erosion; place, construct, and monitor coastal structures; nourish
beaches; and develop and maintain ports, harbors, and related
navigation facilities.
Rising Sea Levels

Some causes of local or relative sea level rise—when the waters rise
relative to one particular place—are related to climate change, while
others are related to the land itself sinking or lifting.
Rising seas threaten a series of disasters. And it’s important to point out
that sea level rise can have vastly uneven effects, not only because
water levels are rising faster in some places, but because some
communities are more vulnerable to political and economic instability.
Without help, inequality will be worsened in areas that have the least
resources to adapt.
Extreme Weather Events

 The physical impacts of climate change in


coastal regions include:

o damage to critical infrastructure


o interrupted access for emergency services
o degradation of building materials and structures
o changes in energy consumption
o governance and institutional change.
Coastal Erosion

 Reduced land from coastlines, reducing available space for human


activities, agriculture, and development.
 Threats to homes, resorts, and businesses near coastlines, causing
damage and financial losses.
 Communities living close to eroding coastlines might need to move,
causing disruptions and economic challenges.
Socio- Economic pressures

 Human populations are heavily concentrated on shorelines and


growing urbanization is putting increasing pressure on coastal
ecosystems around the globe. Many of the environmental challenges
facing individual cities are shared by cities elsewhere, and there is
increasing recognition that localized solutions being developed for a
particular urban setting have the capacity to be scaled up to help
resolve environmental issues in other parts of the world.
 Responsible visitor management in a protected area strives for an
evidence-based approach for determining the optimal intensity and
form of tourism
Environmental concerns

 Protecting coastal ecosystems involves conserving habitats like


mangroves, salt marshes, and seagrasses.
 These areas reduce climate change impacts by storing carbon,
safeguarding coastlines from erosion, and supporting diverse marine
life.
 Conservation efforts include creating protected areas, sustainable
fishing, pollution control, and restoration projects.
 The degradation of freshwater ecosystems through various pollution
types have led to a reduction of global biodiversity by a factor of
about one-third. Unsafe drinking water and sanitation also affects
socioeconomic growth by leading to the loss of productivity, costing
many countries up to 5% of their gross domestic product.
Innovative Solutions
Adaptive Planning and Management

 Adaptive planning may increase the resilience of built environments.


 We know little of governance conditions enabling or impeding
adaptive planning.
 We conducted a meta-analysis of 40 applications globally.
 Results help design a governance framework for adaptive planning.
 Addressing governance of human activities affecting coastal and
marine ecosystems.
Resilient Coastal Communities

 Coastal communities have a


variety of options to protect,
replace, and redesign
existing infrastructure
including flood proofing and
flood protection through
dikes, berms, pumps,
integration of natural
landscape features,
elevation, more frequent
upgrades, or relocation.

Advantages

 Sustainable development: coastal engineering enables sustainable


development of coastal areas, balancing human needs with environmental
considerations.
 Economic benefits: Coastal engineering supports economic growth by
protecting infrastructure, promoting tourism, and enabling port
development.
 Environmental protection: Coastal engineering helps preserve natural
habitats, prevent erosion, and reduce pollution.
 Adaptation to climate change: Coastal engineering helps communities adapt
to sea level rise, increase storm intensity, and changing coastal dynamics.
 Reduced risk of coastal erosion and flooding: Coastal engineering helps
mitigate the risk of coastal erosion and flooding, protecting lives and
property.
Disadvantages

 Environmental impacts: Coastal engineering can harm natural


habitats, disrupt marine ecosystems, and affect wildlife.
 High costs: Coastal engineering projects can be expensive, diverting
resources from other important needs.
 Dependence on technology: Coastal engineering solutions can rely
heavily on technology, which can fail or become outdated.
Conclusion

coastal engineering plays a vital role in addressing the challenges posed


by climate change and its impact on coastal regions. As sea levels rise
and storms intensify, coastal engineers are at the forefront of developing
innovative solutions to safeguard communities, infrastructure, and
ecosystems along the coastline.
