Coastal defence and fortification
Coastal defence (or defense) and coastal fortification are measures taken to provide protection against military attack at or near a coastline (or other shoreline), for example, fortification and coastal artillery. Because an invading enemy normally requires a port or harbour to sustain operations, such defences are usually concentrated around such facilities, or places where such facilities could be constructed. In littoral warfare, coastal defence counteracts naval offence, such as naval artillery, naval infantry (marines), or both.
