Sistemas de protección de costas (I): Regeneración de playas. El ejemplo del Maresme (1987-1998)

Abstract

After repeated construction of permanent structures to prevent erosion in the Maresme coast (NE Barcelona), artificial nourishment of beaches started in late 80's. Ten years of beach monitoring have allowed to evaluate the short and medium-term evolution of these beaches and the relations between nourishment, marine climate and storms versus coastline stability and sedimentary budget
