Coastal Erosion Monitoring
In recent years, coastal erosions and related damages have been occurring more frequently due to climate change and coastline imbalances caused by indiscriminate development of coastal areas. It is urgent to precisely identify the cause of erosions and develop mitigation measures. We conduct surveys and analyses of the state of coastal erosions to identify characteristics and natural resilience of eroded coasts, and provide information necessary for a long-term, systematic erosion management of coasts nationwide. We are working hard to conserve coastal areas and increase their use value by grading erosion severity based on monitoring results, providing technical support for the establishment of coastal maintenance basic plans, running the Coastal Erosion Management Council of Korea, and improving the coastal erosion grade evaluation methods.
