The coastline is a curve/line representing the intersection between land and sea. The interaction between the atmosphere, the sea and the continent give the coastal fringe a multiphasic character that is very complex and difficult to manage. The concentration of human activity in coastal areas requires looking at problems that may endanger beach stability, coastal development, and consequently loss of human heritage. The most widespread problem on a global scale is erosion, especially with the current trend of rising sea levels. And given the complexity of this process and for better management of coastal areas, mathematical modeling is an indispensable tool. In this work, we study the evolution of the Cabo Negro coastline and present a methodology based on two complementary approaches: first, an oceanographic, granulometric and sedimentological study of the site. Secondly, numerical modeling to analyze the evolution of the coastline and the prediction of its long-term position by using a mathematical model: the GENESIS calculation model.
