摘　　要：Shandong has more than 70% of natural coasts are under erosion.Coastal erosion started from the 1970's and became a very serious problem at 1990 's.The dramatic decrease of sediment supplies from rivers caused rapid erosion at the delta and estuary areas,especially in the abandoned Yellow River Delta.Most sandy coasts along the Peninsula were eroded due to lack of sand supply and interruption of alongshore sediment drift,sand dredging from the beach or the offshore area caused serious erosion during short time. Sea-level rise causes slow but constant shoreline retreats and became a more serious threat.Different types of hard solutions for coastal protection against erosion were used in Shandong.Seawalls are most widely used,especially at the Yellow River Delta and city center waterfront.Groynes,jetties and breakwater are used on the north and east sandy coast of the Peninsula.Hard approaches are effective to protect the coast erosion but not change the erosion causes and led secondary impact on the coast.Soft engineering solution or the combined solutions are taken into acts.Beach nourishment is mostly considered as the better soft solution,especially to those tourists attracting sandy beaches along the Shandong coast.Long term monitoring and continuous lessons learning from the coastal erosion management will be adaptive for better coast solution in the future.
