Concepts and Science for Coastal Erosion Management Guidelines for implementation of coastal erosion management at national, regional and local levels
6
Concepts and Science for Coastal Erosion Management Guidelines for implementation of coastal erosion management at national, regional and local levels large diversity, both at physical - and at policy- and management levels
7
Concepts and Science for Coastal Erosion Management Guidelines for implementation of coastal erosion management at national, regional and local levels a systematic approach : Frame of Reference
8
Concepts and Science for Coastal Erosion Management a systematic approach :question loop
9
Concepts and Science for Coastal Erosion Management a systematic approach : question loop Make problems, choices and responsibilities explicit ! Lovely ocean, I must say.. It is just the coast line that worries me ….
10
Concepts and Science for Coastal Erosion Management WHAT is achieved ? HOW can it be tackled ? WHAT is the problem ? a systematic approach :question loop
11
Concepts and Science for Coastal Erosion Management a systematic approach :question loop What is the problem ? WHY is it a problem? functions ? regulations ? policy goals ? physical causes ? WHO is concerned ? interests ? power ? responsibility ? finances ? WHAT should be achieved ? Set objectives WHO is responsible ? Specify examples: preserve dune strength maintain beach configuration reduce coastal erosion prevent damage to infrastructure
12
Concepts and Science for Coastal Erosion Management a systematic approach :question loop How big is it ? What is the problem ? WHAT measurable indicator(s) describe the objectives? What time- and space scales are involved ? What data are available ? What monitoring is needed ? What modelling is applicable ? WHO is responsible ? Decision making process barrier width dune heigth beach width shore line position shoreface volume coastal cell volume etc.
13
Concepts and Science for Coastal Erosion Management a systematic approach :question loop How big is it ? What is the problem ? Action needed ; yes / no? WHERE and WHEN do the indicator(s) reach a critical value ? Benchmarking ! What data are available ? What monitoring is needed ? What modelling is applicable ? WHO is responsible ? definition of desired state favourable sediment status
14
Concepts and Science for Coastal Erosion Management a systematic approach :question loop How big is it ? What is the problem ? Action needed ; yes / no? What intervention is applicable ? HOW to restore or maintain the desired state of the indicator(s) ? Choice of intervention method WHO is responsible ? organization of erosion management finances strategic sediment reservoir
15
Concepts and Science for Coastal Erosion Management a systematic approach :question loop How big is it ? Action needed ; yes / no? Does it work out ? What is the problem ? What intervention is applicable ? WHAT is achieved by the intervention method ? evaluation of effects WHO is responsible ? decision making process
16
Concepts and Science for Coastal Erosion Management How big is it ? Action needed ; yes / no? Does it work out ? What is the problem ? What intervention is applicable ?
