| The Danish Coastal Authority (Kystdirektoratet) – a division of the Ministry of Transport – is the state advisory on coastal protection. The Danish Coastal Authority constructs and maintains state coast protection on the west coast of Jutland. Other assignments are harbour operation, dredging, and storm surge alerts for the west coast of Jutland and the tidal flats. The west coast of Jutland is constantly affected by waves and currents from the North Sea. To protect man-made valuables from erosion and flooding, the Danish state has carried out coast protection on the west coast since 1875. |
