Abstract

The sea storms’ impact on the province of Alicante is conditioned by a series of both physical (geomorphology and lithology, aerological shelter, bathymetry, posidonia prairies) and anthropic (coast urbanisation, dune occupation, coastal infrastructures) factors. In this article, the author expresses the need to use an extramunicipal scale in order to consider correctly the risk facing the sea battering.
