TL;DR: In this article, an integrated and site-specific approach to adaptation to climate change has been put in place, which comprises mangrove planting and rehabilitation with emphasis on resilience to climate changes, and participatory involvement of local communities in effective management and protection through co-management.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the use and success of permeable dams over a period of about 15 years, describing their application in Guyana, Indonesia, Suriname, Thailand and Vietnam, summarizing the lessons-learned, and analyzing their functioning in relation to the physical-biological coastal system.

TL;DR: In this paper, the most effective coastal protection systems consist of different elements arranged in series, for instance natural floodplains vegetated with mangroves and a sound dyke line.

TL;DR: In Soc Trang Province in the Mekong Delta of Vietnam, an area coastal protection strategy has been piloted, which uses floodplain management as a sustainable and effective method of coastal erosion and flood protection The design and construction of structural protection measures must be based on numerical modeling which simulates hydrodynamics and shoreline development, as well as physical modeling, to ensure effectiveness and avoid as much as possible negative effects such as downdrift erosion as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: Williams et al. as mentioned in this paper studied the dynamic response of gravel barriers to both tides and waves in a field-scale laboratory experiment, where they measured hydrodynamics and beach morphology using video, buried PTs, ECMs and closely spaced bed location sensors.
