Paper Summary

Coastal erosion in the Yellow River delta area has worsened due to reduced sediment flow from the Yellow River since the 1990s. The study analyzed three cases of coastal retreat and recommended using hydraulic penetrating sheet pile dams for tidal defense. Key issues in coastal engineering in the area were also highlighted.
