Coastal vulnerability of a pinned, soft-cliff coastline, II: assessing the influence of sea walls on future morphology

Coastal defences have long been employed to halt or slow coastal erosion, and their impact on local sediment flux and ecology has been studied in detail through field research and numerical simulation. The non-local impact of a modified sediment flux regime on mesoscale erosion and accretion has rec...
