Management of coastal dunes on the Catalan and on the Valencian community shorelines (Spain)
This work assesses the level and role of management and the morphological status of coastal dunes in Catalonia and Valencia. Ten beach-dune systems were studied to determine how management actions influence their morphological status. Results show two main groups: those without sustainable management, in an advanced erosive state, and those where sustainable management was applied, presenting good conservation status.

- Purpose
- The objective of this study is, generically, to provide data and knowledge to: Facilitate the management of the first miles of sea, continuously land-sea. This includes the comprehensive management of beaches, equipment and furniture, cleaning and dune areas; Develop any activity that has an impact on the coastal area; Carry out urban and territorial planning studies, for the design and assessment of the environmental impact of infrastructures, etc.; Evaluate the dynamics of sand movements in both the emerged and submerged parts of the beaches, in order to predict the effects of their evolution on management and planning, as well as promote studies on the general dynamics and generalized evolution of sand; Know the evolution of the coastline and the managed surface; Provide information that contributes to promoting actions and projects to improve adaptive capacity in the face of the impacts of climate change; Facilitate knowledge, by the public administration, the scientific world and the public, of the morphology of the coast. Specifically, the study proposes to: Assess different dune restoration strategies applied on the Catalan and Valencian shorelines and determine how human actions affect the morphological status of dunes.
