Interference with the natural longshore sediments transport is caused by human-induced problems.(Pennetta, 2018). The expansion in infrastructure of ports are massively impact on the longshore drift in coastal areas. These types of developments and expansions are threatening to longshore drift and also in shore’s movements. Disturbance in longshore drift is the main reason of changing of sedimentation patterns and result of erosion in coastal…
