A Cost assessment was conducted to estimate assess the costs of detached submerged breakwaters and beach nourishment to contrast heavy erosion (up to 30 m) to protect from flood in Greece. (Soft measure) Furthermore, in the Netherlands "Sand motor" to counter beach erosion were used: by depositing large quantities of sand in strategic places along the coast, the periodic nourishments can be avoided. |
