👉 Coast engineering is a specialized field of civil engineering focused on the design, construction, and maintenance of structures and systems that protect coastlines from erosion, flooding, and other coastal hazards. It involves a range of techniques to manage the dynamic interactions between land and sea, including the construction of seawalls, breakwaters, groynes, and beach nourishment projects. These structures aim to stabilize shorelines, prevent land loss, and safeguard coastal communities and infrastructure from the impacts of waves, tides, and storms. Effective coast engineering requires a deep understanding of coastal processes, sediment transport, and environmental factors to ensure long-term sustainability and resilience against climate change and sea-level rise.
