Description :
The shallowing of the Blankenberge harbour entrance channel is caused by a complex of interacting coastal processes, acting with different intensities at different places within the coastal zone. The channel which is perpendicular to the shore forms an obstacle to longshore eolian and longshore aquatic sediment movement, causing a clear mutual interaction between the choking of the channel and nearby beach dynamics. The present article highlights this interaction as well as the importance of sediment input into the channel.
