Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2312059A1] The invention relates to a method for protecting coasts and the like against the effects of a higher average low-water line. The method comprises of raising one or more existing sandbanks located off the coast. In a preferred embodiment at least one sandbank is raised periodically depending on the low-water line. The method provides at least equivalent protection as the known water barrier without existing infrastructure on land in some cases having to be modified or demolished.
