Resumo(s)
The western coast of Portugal has great geomorphological contrasts. Although the cliff littoral
prevails, there are some sandy systems associated with lagoons that are worth visiting, both because
of their extension and because of the unbalanced situation and environmental vulnerability. The
dynamics of the coastal systems in this exposed littoral and the management and land-use problems
are the main reasons for the present environmental conflicts: (i) coastal erosion (natural and maninduced),
first reported in the XIX century, which led to heavy defence structures and partial or total
destruction of coastal systems, (ii) the infilling of the estuaries and lagoons, promoting their
eutrophism and risking the local aquaculture communities. The present-day dynamics and Quaternary
evolution are the main topics, as well as coastal zone management and conservation.
