Due to climate change a rise in sea level is expected, which is a threat to the coastline of the Netherlands. The area of the project focuses on the seaside resort of Scheveningen, and specifically on the area from the Morales boulevard to the start of the natural dunes. The reason for this specific area is because the municipality of The Hague has little information about what the consequences are in this area due to future sea level rise. Furthermore, the Grand hotel Amrâth Kurhaus and different kind of hospitality industries are situated here. The Amrâth Kurhaus is a monumental building with a lot of history, therefore the municipality of The Hague attaches great value to it. However, whether future sea level rise will really cause for a hazard for the Amrâth Kurhaus and its surroundings is not clear. The first aim is to investigate whether this is the case or not. The second aim is to find how it could be solved if there is a problem.
