Abstract

Coastal erosion, which is increasing globally, is a multidimensional disaster triggered by human interventions. This study compares the erosion crisis at the Antalya Boğaçay Project with successful intervention examples worldwide and proposes sustainable solutions. Environmentally friendly approaches such as the Dutch “Sand Engine” project, sediment bypass systems in the US, and Australia's geotube applications have achieved 70-90% success rates in coastal stabilization. Dynamic coastal management, artificial reefs, and targeted sediment recharge techniques are critical solutions for Boğaçay. The study analyzes the applicability of these strategies to the Turkish coast through hydrodynamic modeling, ecosystem-based design, and disaster risk management perspectives. Consequently, it emphasizes that coastal erosion is an interdisciplinary disaster management issue rather than an engineering problem, and an adaptive management framework is presented for the Mediterranean basin.
