Abstract :
In order to conciliate industrial and touristic activities in coastal areas, thorough knowledge of the natural environment and how it reacts to “external” aggressions is required. Mathematical modelling provides a means for progress in this field. The models most utilized today are 2D, on the mesoscale. They will soon become 3D; or 2D long-term models, thus providing even more powerful-technical management means for these rich and coveted areas
