Glossary of Terms

Coastal Defense

General term used to encompass both coast protection against erosion and sea defense against flooding.

Micro-tidal

Tidal range less than 2m.

Coastal Strip

A zone directly adjacent to the waterline, where only coast related activities take place. Usually this is a strip of some 100 m wide. In this strip, coastal defense activities take place. In this strip often there may be restrictions to land use.

Mean High Water (MHW)

The average height of the high water over a 19-year period. For shorter periods of observations, corrections are applied to eliminate known variations and reduce the results to the equivalent of a mean 19-year value. All high water heights are included in the average where the type of tide is either semi-diurnal or mixed.

Biological Diversity

(Also called biodiversity) - The diversity of life, often divided into three levels: genetic (diversity within species), species (diversity among species), and ecosystem (diversity among ecosystems).

Erosion Watch Spots

Areas where the coastal environment will soon be threatened if shoreline erosion trends continue.
