Abstract: The world's coastal landscapes are constantly being transformed by the construction of infrastructures (dykes, jetties) to meet the growing demands of economic and residential activities. The natural coastal environment is fragmented by human construction, encroaching on the ecological habitats of intertidal zones. This is particularly marked on the English channel coasts, where the tidal range is high. The main aim of the CHERLOC project is to create and study two pilot sites in the Normandy region (France) by integrating two types of artificial concrete units into existing dykes, using social acceptability, biodiversity and coastal engineering approaches.
