The extended&amp;nbsp;erosion, particularly evident during the past 2-3 decades, is attributed to the rise of sea level (&amp;gt;10 cm over the past 100&amp;nbsp;years according to IPCC report of 2007) in conjunction with the incoming relatively high wave energy, which favouring the&amp;nbsp;offshore transfer of fine-grained beach material. In addition, the various man-made constructions either inhibit the terrigenous&amp;nbsp;sediment fluxes to reach the coast and/or by altering coastal hydrodynamics contribute to erosion. Finally, the existed defence&amp;nbsp;constructions seem to have served only to the stabilisation of the coastline and not to its natural recovery.&lt;/div&gt;</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
