This paper concerns the Sangatte sand-dune located at the western extremity of the North Sea coastal plain in France. Using historical evidence, the present study provides an overview of anthropic influences on the evolution of coastal dunes and coastal lowlands evolution since the 17th century- The author assesses the influence of human society on the development of the shoreline and the coastline. Changes in shoreline protection techniques and in the attitudes of coastal managers are also considered. The results of this study show that major changes in coastal protection and coastal mangement are related to storms. The main aspects of an experimental coastal protection programme are presented. The author examines the role of the different actors ("Service Maritime", "Conservatoire du Littoral") in coastal management. Past and present coastal managment are compared through the example of the experimental protection scheme of the Sangatte sand-dune (1993- 1997). Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
