The Coastal Protection Measures and Techniques for Shoreline of Visakhapatnam

Abstract Globally, most coastlines' rapid erosion is seen as a serious issue. Anthropogenic activities and coastal hydrodynamics are the major culprits. Along with difficulties related to pollution, accretion, sedimentation, and climate change, the coastal zone also experiences these issues Climate change will accelerate sea level rise, saltwater incursions, and storm surges. To safeguard homes, infrastructure, and cultivated land, significant effort has been made to mitigate coastal erosion issues and restore coastal capacity. Different kinds of hard structures were used to solve these issues, but the majority of these solutions had limited success since they failed to consider the complete ecological situation. This encouraged the coastal engineers to consider new designs for environmentally friendly constructions that would better fit the surrounding ecosystem. This report reviews global protection measures and categorizes them primarily into four groups: hard, soft, combination, and novel approaches. Each type's use and negative effects are briefly described. It is obvious that using soft engineering, eco-engineering approaches, or a mix of these to improve the ecological condition is the preferred strategy. This article's aim is to suggest practical remedies for this problematic situation in Visakhapatnam by examining reviews and a few global case studies.
