“…Engineering solutions for mitigation of flood and erosion risks described in [39] include both active methods, based on the reduction of the incident wave energy, such as the use of wave energy converters, floating breakwaters and artificial reefs, and passive methods, consisting of increase in overtopping resistance of dikes, improvement of resilience of breakwaters against failures, and the use of beach nourishment (possibly with innovative layout [40]) as well as tailored dredging operations. Suggestions on design optimization, optimal placement, and efficiency from an ecological perspective are outlined in [41].…”

This paper discusses the key aspects of the recent Coastal Plan of the Veneto Region (IT). Its aim is to propose a single mitigation strategy for coastal erosion that is valid for the whole Veneto Region, and possibly elsewhere, as well as a method to assign a priority level to any action. The suggested mitigation action against erosion depends on urbanization level, beach width, as well as cross-shore and long-shore sediment transport. The criterion used to give a priority level to mitigation actions is based on a vulnerability index that takes into account erosive tendency, existing coastal flooding hazards, coast value, environmental relevance, tourist pressure, urbanization level, the presence of production activities, and cultural heritage. A sample case featuring the littoral of Rosolina is also provided and includes a site description, the sediment budget, critical issues and possible mitigation measures.

“…The situation is different for plants erected on sandy, erosive coasts. Every technical object (e.g., pipeline, provisional pier for delivery of materials to the site) erected on a sandy coastal segment causes disturbance in natural sediment transport processes and produces local areas of coastline erosion/accretion [8]. Disregard of the scale, extent and intensity of natural alongshore sediment transport or failure to evaluate possible shoreline change in investigating a potential location for a nuclear power plant on a sandy coast may have serious consequences for its safety [9,10].…”

The Polish government has made a decision to build a nuclear power plant (NPP) in the South Baltic coastal zone. This means that three major types of structures will be located in the nearshore: (1) breakwaters and a wharf where ships may dock to load and unload cargo (harbor), (2) seawalls protecting the shore against erosion and storm surge floods, and (3) an underwater piping system for cold water intake and heated water discharge. This study determines the dominant directions and rate of sediment transport for the coastline section in the vicinity of the projected Polish NPP (ca. 100,000 m3/year), as well as assesses current changes at this coastline location on the basis of field measurements and mathematical modeling.

“…Submerged sand/gravel-filled geotextile bags (geo-bags) are semi-rigid structures, implemented in a few weeks, with relatively low installation cost, have become increasingly popular as an alternative to conventional rigid structures, especially when rapid implementation of stabilization measures are required. 17 There are several investigations to improve the submerged geo-bags performance. 18–22 Comprehensive reviews on the applications of geo-synthetics and geo-containers in hydraulic engineering and for protection of land-fills and coastal areas, which provide valuable information and inspiration for the application of these structures in coastal engineering, have been implemented.…”

A submerged flexible mound breakwater can be employed for wave control in shallow water as an advanced alternative to the conventional rigid submerged designs. This study presents a flexible breakwater with an innovative geometry based on model experimentation. Experimental studies were performed to compare the wave energy dissipation by the flexible mound and rigid structures, over a range of test conditions, for example, three different diameters of structure, three water depths, and different regular wave heights for three different beach slopes. Results indicate that the present submerged flexible mound breakwater is stable, being appropriate for most operational sea conditions. Large amplitude waves can induce significant motions of the structure; therefore, the interaction between radiating and scattering waves is highly contributing to the wave energy dissipation. The wave energy dissipation at breaking zone of the present submerged flexible mound breakwater is significantly greater than that of the other types of flexible and rigid formerly investigated structures.
