“Shoreline Management Guideline for Coastal Development” to mitigate impacts of storm surges and overtopping waves

“Shoreline Management Guideline for Coastal Development” to mitigate impacts of storm surges and overtopping waves      
     The CEDD completed the Study on Shoreline Management Plan in 2024. The study provides guidance on planning and implementing urban coastal development and protection, as well as the formulation of long-term strategies and preventive measures to enhance the resilience of the Government and stakeholders against climate change. Based on the study’s findings and recommendations, the CEDD developed the Guideline, which outlines an integrated strategy of adaptation, resilience, and management to establish multilayered protection:
      The Guideline covers risk-based planning and design principles and procedures, as well as options and examples of protective measures. It serves as a practical guide for stakeholders with businesses operations in coastal or waterfront areas, assisting them in implementing relevant protective measures.
      
     The CEDD has also produced a brochure titled “Let’s Build a Resilient Coast”, which introduces the integrated strategy of adaptation, resilience, and management, as well as multilayered protection measures, while providing recommendations on architectural design and pre-typhoon preparations.
