Affordable coastal protection in the Pacific islands.

Description:
Erosion and recession of shorelines is of significant concern to Pacific island countries (PICs). Coastal erosion is caused by a number of factors that include storms and high water levels, reduced sediment production on coral reefs, removal of coastal sands by mining of beaches and the trapping of sediment by rivers and structures.
