Sea hazards are increasingly threatening worldwide coastal areas, which are among the most strategic resources of the Earth in supporting human population, economy and the environment. These hazards enhance erosion processes and flooding events, producing severe socio-economic impacts and posing a challenge to ocean engineers and stakeholders in finding the optimal strategy to protect both the coastal communities and the health of the environment. The impact of coastal hazards is actually worsened not only by an enhancing rate of relative sea level rise and storminess driven by climate changes, but also by increasing urban pressure related to the development of the sea economy. With regard to larger environmental awareness and climate change adaptation needs, the present study focuses on a stepwise approach that supports the actions for coastal protection at Calabaia Beach, which is located in the Marine Experimental Station of Capo Tirone (Cosenza, Italy). These actions first aim to protect humans and coastal assets, then to restore the environment and the local habitat, overcoming the need for the emergency interventions carried out in the last decades and pointing out that healthy ecosystems are more productive and support a sustainable marine economy (“Blue Growth”).

卡拉巴亚海滩海滩修复的逐步方法

海洋灾害正日益威胁着全球沿海地区，这些地区是地球上支持人口、经济和环境的最具战略意义的资源之一。这些危害加剧了侵蚀过程和洪水事件，产生了严重的社会经济影响，并对海洋工程师和利益相关者提出了挑战，以寻找保护沿海社区和环境健康的最佳战略。沿海灾害的影响实际上不仅由于气候变化导致的相对海平面上升和暴风雨的速度加快，而且与海洋经济发展相关的城市压力增加而加剧。关于更大的环境意识和气候变化适应需求，本研究侧重于支持卡拉巴亚海滩海岸保护行动的逐步方法，该海滩位于 Capo Tirone（意大利科森扎）海洋实验站。这些行动首先旨在保护人类和沿海资产，然后恢复环境和当地栖息地，克服过去几十年进行的紧急干预的需要，并指出健康的生态系统更具生产力并支持可持续的海洋经济（ “蓝色增长”）。
