This procedure is based on successive steps, starting from the comprehension of the most likely causes of the erosion phenomenon (local or not) and ending with the selection and design of the most suitable (local) coastal protection intervention. This process involves also risk analyses, to cost–benefit analyses, and must take into account local environmental constrains, social aspects, etc. The paper gives an overview of the whole process, showing also an application to a case history in Italy.

Abstract
The paper deals with general strategies to be followed when managing an eroding coast. This procedure is based on successive steps, starting from the comprehension of the most likely causes of the erosion phenomenon (local or not) and ending with the selection and design of the most suitable (local) coastal protection intervention. This process involves also risk analyses, to cost–benefit analyses, and must take into account local environmental constrains, social aspects, etc. The paper gives an overview of the whole process, showing also an application to a case history in Italy.
