Iran coastlines with a length of more than 3000 kilometers form the main portion of Iran borders. This water border provides the accessibity to oceans and other countries and has a vital rule in economical, political and military affairs of the country. Although there is a lots of economical potential in the coastal area of the country, unfurtunately we can not see a suitable level of development in these areas. Iran coastlines mostly suffer from different problems such as: lack of suitable defense against the sea waves, pollution of water by domestic and industerial sewage and oil spills. On the other hand there is not an integrated management system for the coastal zones. This project is a part of a national research program for evaluation of coastal protection methods applicable along Iran coastlines As the first part of the research program, this project aims to identify current protection methods in other countries and provide a text manual for design of protection systems. To protect the coastline against the sea wave attack, there are different structural and non structural metthods. The erosion of coastlines could be controled by building the coastal structures such as: seawalls, breakwaters, groin, and jetties. Non-structural methods generally divided into two groups: biological protection and artifical sand nourishment, All of these protection methods and their design procedures will be discused in this report.
