Coastal erosion along the Portuguese northwest coast is getting worse due to changes in sediment from rivers and climate change. Extreme events, dams, and sea level rise are making erosion worse over time. To understand and predict how the coast will change, researchers are studying the sediment and climate impacts. They suggest using sediments from reservoirs to help restore eroded beaches. The coast will respond to climate change by changing how sediment moves along the shore.
