Abstract
The coastal town Ostend in Belgium has his sea wall far in the sea. For this reason, the protection of the town against storms is difficult. A harbor is situated in the city, with the harbor entrance close to the most important sea wall. Integration of harbor constructions and coastal protections schemes is necessary.References
