“…Coastline changes have significant impacts on coastal hydrodynamics, with direct consequences for sediment transport, pollutant dispersion, and ecological processes [6][7][8][9]. Coastline change can alter the tidal current velocity [10], alter the water and sediment transport processes [11], and result in tidal amplitude variations [12], e.g., a shift of the M 4 shallow water tidal line towards the shore, a weakening of the flood tide advantage, not been carefully studied, which have a more direct impact on local sediment erosion and deposition as well as the ecological environment.…”

Coastline changes have significant impacts on coastal hydrodynamics. Xiangshan Bay is a semi-closed and long-narrow bay located in Zhejiang Province, China. Its coastline has changed dramatically in recent decades; however, the variations in the small-scale hydrodynamics in the changed coastline areas have not been carefully studied. This study uses the Finite-Volume Community Ocean Model (FVCOM) to design a set of control experiments and five sets of compared experiments targeting the areas with significant coastline changes in Xiangshan Bay over the past 21 years. It was found that the coastline changes at the mouth of the bay, such as areas near Meishan Island and Dasong, have a significant impact on both residual currents and tidal currents, changing the amplitudes and phase distributions of the tides. Coastline changes in the inner bay have lesser impacts on hydrodynamics, mainly affecting the small-scale areas in the vicinity.
