WAVE RUN-UP LIMITS: MAPPING MARITIME PUBLIC DOMAIN IN PORTUGAL

Carlos Coelho, Nelson Teixeira

Abstract


The maritime public domain in Portugal is defined for each place, by the line corresponding to the maximum high tide of equinoctial spring tides, depending on the waves run-up under average waves heights conditions. This approach has created challenges and problems to the responsible entities, which are not solved yet. The choice of a specific study area allows the definition of a suitable method to run-up evaluation, the perception of the difficulties in evaluating the LMPMAVE, and its application at the study site leading to definition of the effective boundary line in the field.

Keywords


wave run-up; maritime public domain; wave height and beach slope
