Abstract

The coastline between Radès and Ezzahra, NE Tunisia, suffered from erosion during a strong storm in 1981. As a consequence, between 1985 and 1988, a single breakwater was constructed in Radès and two successive breakwaters in Ezzahra. The paper reports a study of the effectiveness of these structures and considers the other factors which influence the accretion/erosion of the shoreline.
