Resumen

Coastal erosion is a natural process which poses serious problems to coastal communities worldwide. Hard engineering solutions are the most common defense mechanisms that have been used for a long time; although attention has now been inevitably given towards more ecologically and economically sustainable soft engineering approaches. Through this study, it is intended that a bioengineered solution be proposed against coastal erosion using bacterial biomineralization. However, the results presented in this paper are only from a bottom-line study and much more realistic investigations, including scaling up, should be carried out in the future.
