Kibrit, B. (author), Imambaks, R. (author), Anijs, M. (author), Tarigheh, A.S. (author), Mungar, S. (author)Over the past decades the north-eastern coast of Brazil has been degrading due to erosion. This degradation has both natural- and men-made causes. Brazil has no specific laws and acts which relate to coastal protection and management up to this date. Beaches in the metropolitan area of Recife show variety in beach width according to the seasons....student report 2011

Bronsvoort, K. (author), Radermacher, M. (author), Van der Spek, B.J. (author), Spruit, R. (author), Van Tongeren, B. (author)The Durban bight has a very dynamic and variable coastline which is constantly under attack by the Indian Ocean. To protect the Durban harbour from this energetic ocean, already in 1855 breakwaters have been constructed to protect the harbour and prevent sedimentation inside. The construction of these breakwaters and eventually extending these...student report 2011

This branch doesn’t have the biggest discharge but has the most navigation. The situation in the Paraná de las Palmas isn’t without problems though; the river banks show erosion over the whole length of the branch. This erosion has been investigated by the following...student report 2010
