Coastal erosion caused by strong wave impacts has led to land loss and poses a threat to public facilities. Therefore, a project was initiated to develop a detailed construction plan for coastal protection, serving as a guideline to safeguard the area from further erosion. Located in Kuala Kampar District, Pelalawan Regency, Riau, this coastal region is experiencing severe erosion in several critical areas, characterized by unique hydrodynamic conditions due to the Bono phenomenon (strong tidal currents).

Several surveys were conducted to support project planning, including topographic, bathymetric, soil mechanics, hydrology, and socio-economic surveys. These aimed to assess coastal conditions, tidal dynamics, and the project’s impact on the local community. Based on the findings, key coastal protection measures were proposed, such as breakwaters to dissipate wave energy, revetments for direct shoreline protection, jetties to manage sedimentation, and groins to reduce sand movement and prevent erosion. The project is expected to mitigate coastal erosion, enhance community safety, and create job opportunities while addressing challenges like sedimentation, ecosystem shifts, and workforce development for local labor involvement.
