Investigating the possibility of implementing Sand Bypassing System in southern ports of the Caspian Sea

In response to climate changes and human interventions, sedimentary regimes of the coasts will be changed. Occasionally, these changes may affect the portchr(chr('39')39chr('39'))s functioning as well as eroding the coastlines downstream. Since the last century, mechanical equipment has been used to restore the natural cycle of sediment transportation around the ports to address these problems. This method, which is known as the Sand Bypassing System (SBS), has been successful in countries such as Australia, India, and the United States. By introducing SBS components and reviewing the sedimentary situation of several ports in the Caspian Sea, this article investigates the possibility of implementing SBS compared to successful SBS examples around the world. Finally, by introducing the ports which are assumed to be suitable to benefit from fixed systems, implementation of SBS for the ports of Chamkhaleh and Fereydunkenar were presented in detail here.
