Sand nourishments and groynes as coastal protection measures (CPM) address similar challenges on sandy coasts but take different approaches: while are intended to reduce alongshore sediment transport erosion, add new the system compensate for erosion. The aim of this study is compare ecological effects such vegetation. To end, nutrient analysis botanical mappings were carried out a site with installed groynes, where sand regularly out, control without any CPM. In addition an increase in...
In order to adapt sea level rise, sand nourishments are one of the measures protect coast from erosion and stabilize shorelines. Marine sands being dredged ocean floor nourished onto beach or in shallow water. To understand ecological effects these measurements, following case study was performed. Both short long-term on aquatic terrestrial coastal ecosystems were monitored during a 24 months survey which started June 2021 Ahrenshoop at Baltic Sea (Germany). Sediment structure vegetation...
