International audienceBased on two case studies located in French overseas territories, this presentation aims to investigate how to basecoastal risk management policies on natural coastal system protection. The in-depth analysis of the impacts of andresilience to cyclones Oli in Tubuai Island (French Polynesia, Feb. 2010) and Bejisa in Reunion Island (Jan. 2014),raised the major role of natural buffers degradation (i.e. sand-dune systems) in increasing vulnerability. Five processes are analysed here: contraction (reduction in land area), fragmentation of sedimentary cells by coastal structures, shoreline fixation due to coastal defences, removal or modification of vegetation and finally, coral beach extraction. These phenomena alter the at...
