Coastal sediment transport (a subset of sediment transport) is the interaction of coastal land forms to various complex interactions of physical processes. [1] [2] The primary agent in coastal sediment transport is wave activity (see Wind wave), followed by tides and storm surge (see Tide and Storm surge), and near shore currents (see Sea#Currents) .

Sediment transportation and coastal erosion is a complex subject that is necessary to understand to protect infrastructure and the environment. [70] Coastal erosion is the process of sediment and materials breaking down and transported due to the effects of the sea . [ 71 ]
Marine sediment, or ocean sediment, or seafloor sediment, are deposits of insoluble particles that have accumulated on the seafloor.These particles either have their origins in soil and rocks and have been transported from the land to the sea, mainly by rivers but also by dust carried by wind and by the flow of glaciers into the sea, or they are biogenic deposits from marine organisms or from ...
Coastal sediment transport takes place in near-shore environments due to the motions of waves and currents. At the mouths of rivers, coastal sediment and fluvial sediment transport processes mesh to create river deltas. Coastal sediment transport results in the formation of characteristic coastal landforms such as beaches, barrier islands, and ...
The Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP) was an international marine research program, running from 2003 to 2013.The program used heavy drilling equipment mounted aboard ships to monitor and sample sub-seafloor environments.
Coastal sediment supply is the transport of sediment to the beach environment by both fluvial and aeolian transport. While aeolian transport plays a role in the overall sedimentary budget for the coastal environment, it is paled in comparison to the fluvial supply which makes up 95% of sediment entering the ocean.

A group of recyclers in the Philippines is trying to ease the country's worsening plastic waste crisis by turning bottles, single-use sachets and snack food wrappers that clog rivers and spoil ...
The Cultural Center of the Philippines Complex in Bay City, Metro Manila. Bay City or the Manila Bay Freeport Zone is the 660-hectare (6.6 km 2 ) reclamation area that is split between the cities of Manila and Pasay on the north side and Parañaque on the south. [ 5 ]
