👉 Shore engineering, also known as coastal engineering or beach engineering, is a specialized field focused on the design, construction, and maintenance of structures and systems to protect shorelines from erosion, flooding, and other coastal hazards. It involves a range of techniques, including the construction of seawalls, breakwaters, groynes, and beach nourishment projects, all aimed at preserving coastal land, infrastructure, and ecosystems. These interventions are critical in mitigating the impacts of natural processes like wave action, storm surges, and sea-level rise, while also balancing the needs of human activities such as tourism, fishing, and development. Effective shore engineering requires a deep understanding of coastal dynamics, sediment transport, and environmental impacts to ensure long-term sustainability and resilience against climate change and other threats.
