SEDIMENT TRANSPORT AND SEDIMENT MANAGEMENT IN THE ELBE ESTUARY GERMANY Sediment Transport and Sediment Management in the Elbe Estuary Germany THE ELBE ESTUARY 150 A BRIEF Terra et Aqua Number. Coastal environments are one of the most dynamic and fragile environments on earth. Consequently managing them requires a detailed understanding of both natural and human influences. With over 4 billion people living worldwide living within 40km of the coast, an ever-increasing demand for coastal leisure activities and the threat of increasing sea levels, the challenge is to find sustainable ways of managing the frontier between land and sea which offers protection from the forces of nature whilst being sensitive to the needs of the environment.. Lesson Objective: . To compare traditional . hard engineering to more modern holistic approaches. .. Hard and soft engineering. There are 2 types of engineering that is used at the coast. Hard Engineering. Defining Marine Debris. Human-made items that are discarded both intentionally and unintentionally and eventually enter ocean.
