Master Plan of solutions to mitigate the risk of coastal erosion in Calabria (Italy), a case study

Such a Master Plan is necessary in Calabria both because of the geographic shape of the land, characterized by a coastline over 700 km long and which is fundamentally important to the regional economy, and also because of the presence of a significant number of past ad hoc interventions in coastal defence, often carried out by different institutional bodies, as a matter of urgency, and in areas of limited access, generally without sound or effective design or general vision of the problem, the result of which has only served to shift, in spatial and temporary terms, the problem of coastal erosion.
