Dams and breakwaters constructed in various places also impede the transportation of earth and sand. Furthermore, the maintenance dredging of dam lakes and waterways will also disrupt the supply of sediment to coasts if the dredged sediment is not released back into the water system. Due to these development activities, coastal erosion has become a serious problem in many beaches around the world. Moreover, due to the excessive industrial activities of human beings, the exacerbation of natural disasters caused by global warming is becoming a real problem. In addition, because great earthquakes with a magnitude of 9 or more have occurred about three times per 100 years at boundaries of the Pacific Crust Plate and the Nazca Crust Plate since 1700, the possibility of losing many lives and assets in the Pacific coastal areas due to a huge tsunami caused by a great earthquake should not be underestimated. Therefore, research into the prevention and mitigation of coastal erosion and coastal disasters is becoming increasingly important. This Special Issue, "Coastal Morphology Assessment and Coastal Protection", consists of five peer-reviewed papers, collected to contribute to the technological progress on the prevention of coastal erosion and coastal disaster resulting from large waves and tsunamis. 606 $aTechnology: general issues$2bicssc 610 $abarrier dynamics 610 $abimodal spectrum 610 $acar and ship 610 $acoastal dunes 610 $acoastal erosion 610 $acontainer 610 $across-shore profile 610 $aCSG dike 610 $adriftwood 610 $adune cannibalization 610 $adune development 610 $agravel barrier beaches 610 $aimpact force 610 $alarge tsunami 610 $amorphodynamic change 610 $an/a 610 $aoverwash 610 $asandy coast 610 $asediment transport rates 610 $asemi-enclosed sea 610 $astorms 610 $atopography change due to a huge tsunami 610 $atsunami driftage 610 $atsunami inundation simulation 610 $awall/pillar resistance against tsunami 610 $aXBeach 615 7$aTechnology: general issues 700 $aYamamoto$b Yoshimichi$4edt$01306040 702 $aYamamoto$b Yoshimichi$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557388603321 996 $aCoastal Morphology Assessment and Coastal Protection$93028161 997 $aUNINA
