Abstract:

In an effort to explore flood control, erosion, and preservation of areas subjected to storm surges and severe weather, a project was assembled that compared natural defenses, such as dunes and water run-off areas, against the implementation of artificial structures, such as retaining walls and artificial dikes. In certain examples, natural defenses proved more resistant than synthetic approaches. \r\n
