“…information. More insight into the drivers and transport patterns of aeolian sand transport is especially important for the sustainability of a heavily managed coast such as that of The Netherlands [34,76,4]. In addition, this these data will allow us to further improve model approaches [12,26,22], and better simulate the impact of future management strategies such as meganourishments on the coastal system.…”

a b s t r a c tCoastal dunes are the primary defence protecting the coastline from the destructive forces of the sea in The Netherlands. Aeolian processes are important in this context as they contribute to dune accretion and thus the safety of the coastal hinterland. In this study, we analyze horizontal and vertical variability of event scale aeolian sand transport on a wide beach on the island of Ameland, The Netherlands. Data were obtained from a meteorological station, groundwater monitoring wells and a camera installed on the beach. Fifteen aeolian transport events (two involving onshore winds, seven longshore and six offshore) were measured using a comprehensive grid of 37 customized MWAC traps. The highest sand transport rates and largest variability was found for alongshore events. Surface moisture, governed by groundwater, was found to be an important controlling parameter for aeolian transport rates and vertical flux profiles. Groundwater levels were largely dominated by beach inundation, influencing the groundwater table for a two week period. Variations in vertical flux profiles between traps were larger for wet sand transport events than dry ones. In general, sand transport rates were highest at the foreshore and lowest at the dune toe. Sand transport dynamics are dependent on local conditions such as beach dimensions, beach orientation and also meteorological and surface characteristics. Moderate (high frequency, low magnitude) events are also capable of transporting large amounts of sand. Future studies should include spatially explicit measurements of elevation and surface moisture to obtain a more complete understanding of the complex sand transport dynamics.

“…In order to protect the livelihood of densely populated coastal areas against climate-related impacts, a growing number of studies recognizes the need for the adoption of coastal defence strategies (Giosan et al, 2014;Temmerman et al, 2013;Wong et al, 2014). Fortunately, the awareness of the threats posed by climate change is growing, and coastal defence in a number of countries -especially developed countries -have been intensified, specifically at vulnerable locations (Goodhew, 2014;Kabat et al, 2009;Sterr, 2008).…”

“…However, the future annual volume of sand nourishments should increase if the coast is to rise with the sea-level (Deltacommissie, 2008). Research suggests that the annual nourishment volume should be raised to 20 million m 3 yr −1 in the nearby future; in order to sustain the Dutch coastline in the long run (Giardino et al, 2011;de Ronde, 2008). The anticipation of a substantial growth in the annual nourishment volume incited discussions about the effectiveness of the current large-scale distribution of sand.…”

“…Particularly small islands (Chui and Terry, 2013;Holding and Allen, 2015;Mahmoodzadeh et al, 2014) and low-lying deltas (Giosan et al, 2014;McGranahan et al, 2007;Oude Essink et al, 2010) are vulnerable to rising sea-levels. Many low-lying deltas, such as the Mekong Delta (Vietnam) and the Ganges-Brahmaputra delta (Bangladesh), are already frequently subjected to extensive floods, leading to considerable economic losses, property damage, and in severe cases loss of life (Few and Matthies, 2006;de Sherbinin et al, 2011;UNDP, 2004).…”

Abstract. The anticipation of sea-level rise and increases in extreme weather conditions has led to the initiation of an innovative coastal management project called the Sand Engine. In this pilot project a large volume of sand (21.5 million m 3 ) -also called sand replenishment or nourishment -was placed on the Dutch coast. The intention is that the sand is redistributed by wind, current, and tide, reinforcing local coastal defence structures and leading to a unique, dynamic environment. In this study we investigated the potential effect of the long-term morphological evolution of the large sand replenishment and climate change on fresh groundwater resources. The potential effects on the local groundwater system were quantified with a calibrated three-dimensional (3-D) groundwater model, in which both variable-density groundwater flow and salt transport were simulated. Model simulations showed that the long-term morphological evolution of the Sand Engine results in a substantial growth of fresh groundwater resources, in all adopted climate change scenarios. Thus, the application of a local sand replenishment could provide coastal areas the opportunity to combine coastal protection with an increase of the local fresh groundwater availability.

ABSTRACT:Within few years before, the urge to implement the marine spatial planning is due to increasing numbers of marine activities that will lead into uncertainties of rights, restrictions and responsibilities of the maritime nations. Marine authorities in this situation that deal with national rights and legislations are the government institutions that engage with marine spatial information. There are several elements to be considered when dealing with the marine spatial planning; which is institutional sustainability governance. Providing the importance of marine spatial planning towards sustainable marine spatial governance, the focus should highlight the role marine institutions towards sustainable marine plan. The iterative process of marine spatial planning among marine institutions is important as the spatial information governance is scattered from reflected rights, restrictions and responsibilities of marine government institutions. Malaysia is one of the maritime nations that conjures the initial step towards establishing the sustainable marine spatial planning. In order to have sustainable institutions in marine spatial planning process, it involves four main stages; planning phase, plan evaluation phase, implementation phase and post implementation phase. Current situation has witnessed the unclear direction and role of marine government institutions to manage the marine spatial information. This review paper is focusing on the institutional sustainability upon interaction of marine government institutions in the marine spatial planning process based on Institutional Analysis Framework. The outcome of the integration of institutional sustainability and marine spatial planning process will propose a framework of marine institutional sustainable plan.
