Description	This chapter provides an overview of the current state of play related to managed realignment in Europe. A review of published literature enables the identification of different methods of managed realignment being implemented in Europe, which fits: removal of coastal protection structures, breach of seawalls, realignment of the coastal protection line, controlled tidal restoration, and managed retreat. At some locations, entire sections of coastal protection structures are removed to restore the space required for the coast to respond more dynamically to environmental change. Unlike the removal or breaching methods, realignment of the coastal protection line involves the construction of new structures as part of the project design. The Dutch experience demonstrates that a combination of managed realignment and other coastal protection approaches can be strategically implemented to provide the desired level of protection and coastal uses, taking into consideration physical characteristics and socioeconomic objectives of the sites.
