To achieve objectives, considering a sea-based approach, forty-seven environmental, infrastructural, and human characteristics have been involved along with the management units (Sedimentary cell, sub-cell, and shoreline-sector). Determining the appropriateness of the development of structures and infrastructures such as ports and mooring berths, infrastructure for coastal-maritime tourism, and coastal protection structures such as dykes and coastal walls in three proportions (suitable, relatively suitable, and unsuitable) along the nine shoreline sectors with attention to the environmental and passive defense considerations were the research outcomes. The present study concluded that the construction of the coastal structure along the Abbasak Bay and Piazy estuary is inappropriate. In contrast, the coastline of Bushehr Peninsula was recognized as suitable for the establishment of the tourism infrastructure and mooring structures, commercial and fishery ports, and coastal protection structures. %> http://marine-eng.ir/article-1-922-en.pdf %P 35-46 %& 35 %! %9 Research Paper %L A-10-1512-1 %+ Department of River and Coastal Engineering, Soil Conservation and Watershed Management Research Institute, Agricultural Research, Education and Extension Organization (AREEO) %G eng %@ 1735-7608 %[ 2022
