This happens by constructing new defenses seaward the original ones
limited intervention
By which adjustments are made to be able to cope with inundation, raising coastal land and buildings vertically
accommodation
Managed retreat or realignment, which plans for retreat and adopts engineering solutions that recognise natural processes of adjustment, and identifies a new line of defence where to construct new defences

Alternatively, integrated coastal zone management approaches may be used to prevent development in erosion- or flood-prone areas to begin with. Growth management can be a challenge for coastal local authorities who often struggle to provide the

Study Notes
Shoreline Protection Methods
- Seawalls are constructed around coastlines to protect against shoreline erosion and flooding
- New defenses are built seaward of original ones to adapt to changing coastal conditions
- Coastal land and buildings are raised vertically to cope with inundation
Managed Retreat Approach
- Involves planning for retreat and adopting engineering solutions that recognize natural processes of adjustment
- Identifies a new line of defense for constructing new defenses
Alternative Approach
- Integrated coastal zone management approaches prevent development in erosion- or flood-prone areas
- Growth management is a challenge for coastal local authorities to provide necessary infrastructure and services
