 Hydromorphological pressures, often connected with construction, marine transportation and tourism, are intensified due to population growth and urbanization. Human activities hydromorphologically alter coastal zone, causing considerable changes in physical features of the coast e.g. by accelerating erosion processes. Erosion is significantly intensified by anthropogenic impacts (e.g. coastal defence, land reclamation, vegetation clearing, river regulation etc.), affecting majority of shoreline in Europe. Loss of sediments and space for coastal processes accelerate erosion, which leads to sea-level rise and flooding, loss of material assets and biodiversity. Large-scale structures such as coastal defence constructions and harbours disturb natural circulation of sediments.
