Over the past decades, the number of inhabitants living in European coastal zones has more than doubled. A significant number of assets is threatened by coastal erosion, which affects each year important areas of coastal lands and undermines the defence against coastal flooding. The EUrosion project aim was to provide quantified evidence that coastal erosion in Europe is a problem of growing magnitude and that the current efforts undertaken by public authorities does not succeed in containing. The EUrosion project has resulted in several findings, and a number of proposals were formulated. Some of them can be related to environmental issues which will be analysed in this paper as well as the new Portuguese legislation regarding EIA, trying to give an idea as to how these recommendations could be being incorporated or considered. Despite these recent developments that ensure more restrict criteria be considered for EIA studies, there are still some drawbacks.
