The southern coast of Mauritius is exposed to strong cyclonic storms that generate high wave energies and lead to stretches of cliffed coast interspersed with narrow beaches. A coral platform extends out from much of this shoreline. Superimposed on the natural landscape variability is the human system which is exploiting the sediment for construction and the coastal sites for development. Environmental regulations are being put in place to control and direct many of the human impacts. The forecasted sea-level rise will threaten existing natural coastal system and its associated infrastructure. Coastal management is in the early stages of protecting the environmental heritage.Les côtes méridionales de l'île Maurice subissent actuellement les...
