Competences in coastal management: • National administration: lawmaking, safety standards • Ministry of Transport, Public Works and Water Management: coastline preservation, beach nourishments • Waterboards: flooddefence • Municipalities: spatial planning • Provinces: regional planning, supervision of waterboards and municipalities, approval of reinforcement plans

  5. Weak links inthe coast • Between now and 20 years a safety problem • Economical and ecological importance requires a for an integrated approach Delfland coast

  6. Water safety Water safety is established by law: • Protection levels • Five-yearly assesment Protection level South-Holland:resist a storm surge occuring once in 10.000 years on average

  7. The Netherlands without dykes

  15. Alternatives investigated • Landward reinforcement of the sea defence • Reinforcement at the same location • Heightened dunes • Seaward reinforcement • Seaward • More seaward

  16. Preferred alternative: seaward Southern part Hoek van Holland Ter Heijde Northern part Scheveningen Kijkduin

  17. Anticipation of climate change • Designed for 50 years (sea level rise)anticipation of 200 years • Solutions with sand are flexible

  18. Anticipation of climate change (2) Straight coastline & broad beach:Dunes can grow in a natural way by coastal nourishment and cope with future safety standards

  19. Support base • Different government levels working together • Understanding of stakeholders is crucial • Seaward: (almost) no resistance • Tailor made solution for Kijkduin
