"The aim of DELOS is to identify engineering options in the design of
coastal defence structures that are functionally and economically feasible
and socially and ecologically acceptable. DELOS offers the possibility to
achieve this aim through integrated collaboration among engineers who
design coastal defence systems, coastal oceanographers, marine ecologists,
economists and political institutions who are operationally responsible
for coastal protection works. DELOS covers major research in engineering,
ecology and socio-economy. It involves 17 partners from 7 European
countries. The major anticipated deliverable are validated guidelines for
the design of low crested coastal defence structures to be provided to
civil engineers and local authorities planning shore defence measures.
