Abstract

 It has been pointed out that global warming may lead to coastal erosion. In this study, we tested and evaluated the applicability of the methods proposed in previous studies to advance formation of sandy beaches.The countermeasure structure is permeable and was installed at three locations depending on the tidal zone of action. For comparison, a countermeasure with an impermeable structure was also installed. According to the test results, the sand surface height on a coral reef beach fluctuates by about 10 cm per day at a constant waves. In addition, it was confirmed that the countermeasure contributed to the topographic advance through the accumulation of gravel.
