Coastal Management
"Costal defense" redirects here. For military defense of coasts, see Coastal defence and fortification.
In some jurisdictions the terms sea defense and coastal protection are used to mean, respectively, defense against flooding and erosion. The term coastal defence is the more traditional term, but coastal management has become more popular as the field has expanded to include techniques that allow erosion to claim land.
