This paper describes coastal resilience as a measure of the extent to which a coast is able to respond to external pressures without losing actual or potential functions. Coastal resilience has morphological, ecological and socio-economic components
, each of which represents another aspect of the coastal system's adaptive capacity to pertubations. A recent study explores possibilities of enhancing coastal resilience in the Netherlands by allowing managed retreat in areas where it is environmentally

This discussion aims at placing the problems and prospects for effective coastal management in Ireland, and more widely in the British Isles as a whole, in the context of the likely physical environmental changes that might be expected around our
coasts into the next century. In particular, the current approaches to coastal management and the lack of coherent national policies in this field are evaluated.

Most of the coastal lowlands are now so intensively used that a large proportion of the Japanese coast has been artificially modified. Therefore, coastal countermeasures against several kinds of natural and man-induced hazards are the serious
problems for Japanese. In this report, the A. will introduce some typical cases of countermeasures against coastal hazards in Japan.

The aim of this paper is to build on existing background research into coastal steepening and advance it through GIS interrogation of the data collected in the recently completed Future coast project (Burgess et al. 2001). The primary aim
is to assess the extent to which coastal steepening has taken place around England and Wales.

Ce numéro spécial regroupe l'essentiel des communications présentées à Nantes lors du colloque d'octobre 1991. Elles reflètent les ambiguïtés sémantiques sur la notion de protection du littoral qui englobe aussi bien la protection patrimoniale et
culturelle que la préservation de la nature, dans tous ses aspects, d'où les difficultés à protéger le littoral tout en espérant l'aménager. Toutefois, le thème premier est la protection du trait de côte contre l'érosion marine.

The dynamic differentiation is proven by a quantitative monitoring using volumetric data collected by high frequency beach profiling in the period 1978-90 at five representative coastal stations. Time series are discussed and attention paid

Future sea-level rise provides a major challenge to coastal geomorphologists working in many different areas. Regional responses to a variable projected rate of sea-level rise will undoubtedly be complex and have major policy implications. Coastal
geomorphologists can provide valuable information on the likely reaction of coastlines to sea-level change, as well as advising on suitable protection strategies.
