Abstract (EN): Soft coastal engineering solutions using sand filled containers can provide significant advantages over more traditional coastal defences made of concrete or rocks, especially in areas of low-risk-management. These techniques are quite cost-effective and can, wherever possible, slow down erosion with a limited and non-permanent impact on natural coastal processes. The case study in analysis reports on a dune erosion control system in Estela, municipality of Povoa do Varzim. In this case - and for the first time in Portugal - a soft coastal engineering solution constructed with geosynthetics was tried to slow down ongoing erosion.
