Description: The main types of hard coastal defence:  beachheads (breakwaters);  dikes and dune foot reinforcement; Also groynes, harbour walls and palisades contribute to coastal defence at the ports. Groynes, harbour walls and palisades can be found at the most important ports on our coast (Nieuwpoort, Ostend, Blankenberge, and Zeebrugge). Groynes that are oriented toward the sea are only found in Zeebrugge and Ostend. Beachheads are very common along the Belgian coast. Between Westende and Bredene and between Wenduine and Knokke, the series of beachheads is nearly continuous. There are no beachheads in De Panne, Oostduinkerke, De Haan and near the Zwin. Dikes are also fairly common along the Belgian coast. Dune foot reinforcement is used in ‘the Westhoek’ (West Corner) nature reserve in De Panne. These reinforcements consist of gabions, fascine mats or rubble that is buried underneath a thick layer of sand.
