Abstract
The Egyptian coastal suffer from many coastal problems. Many trials have been executed to overcome these problems and only limited success have been gained. This is due to executing traditional coastal structures without the execution of complete environmental impact assessment study to identify the side effects of these structures and their mitigation measurements. The new concept of coastal protection, building with nature, overcomes this problem by establishing a new group of environmentally friendly coastal structures with less side effects, high efficiency and low cost. This study is an attempt to apply this new concept in solving coastal problems and protecting the Egyptian coastal environment. Coastal structures are classified into four groups: Traditional protection, Soft protection, combined protection, Low cost structures. The usage and side effects of each group is briefly discussed. This classification is used to identify the suitable coastal protection works for the Egyptian coasts depending on the new concept. Alexandria city suffers from many erosion problems along its coastline which result from natural and human activities in the coastal zone. Significant erosion occurs along most of Alexandria’s beaches as a result of sediment starvation, coastal processes. The main objective of this study is to present all types of shore protection structure and the methods of designing and also providing an effective shoreline protection solution with minimum Environmental impact, aesthetic requirements with economical construction cost.
