Protection from water
Solutions for dealing with the destructive power of water as a hazard are considered in this section. These include coastal protection, such as dunes and cliffs, prevention of water erosion, and flood protection and its management.
The protective structures are divided into hard structures, such as dams and seawalls, and vegetated structures, such as e.g. artificial reefs and seaweed plantations.
A separate area is forecasting, where approaches such as risk analysis, storm forecasting, hurricane or flood forecasting, etc. are considered.

Dune restoration or creation; Cliff stabilisation
Methods, processes and devices aimed at protecting, restoring or creating dunes, and stabilising cliffs.
Erosion prevention
Prevention of erosion of seabeds around marine foundations, coastal zones and in waterways.
Flood or storm water management
Systems for draining surface water in case of flood or storms, disposing it into the ground, as well as equalising tanks, acting a buffer, for providing storage to hold storm water when it is arriving too rapidly.
Flood prevention
Methods, processes and devices aimed at preventing floods involving dams, dykes or barrages.
Controlling or monitoring; Forecasting
Systems and processes related to forecasting and monitoring extreme weather conditions.
Hard structures
Hard structures such as piers, quays, dams, dykes, breakwaters, revetments of banks of waterways and seabeds, and also floating breakwaters.
Artificial reefs or seaweed; Restoration or protection of coral reefs
Processes and systems aimed at creating, restoring and protecting coral reefs, artificial reefs and seaweed.
