results as represented in the previous pages refer just to
the most famous values among the others in the papers
being studied and do not propose the best of them
because every index has its advantages and drawbacks
and moreover the final choice is depended on many
factors. We believe that the results represent the researcher’s favorable trend of the materials and methods about
the same issue: the coastal erosion and the shoreline
evolution.
