  abstract = {{M}arine coastal ecosystems are crucial to human populations in reducing disaster risk. {L}east {D}eveloped {C}ountries are particularly vulnerable to the effects of climate change, such as sea-level rise and storm surges. {T}he {M}auritanian coast, {W}est {A}frica, ranks among the most vulnerable worldwide to sea-level rise, and coastal communities in the {N}ational {P}ark of {B}anc d'{A}rguin ({PNBA}) are particularly at risk. {H}ere, we assessed the service of coastal protection in {PNBA} by (1) mapping the coastal marine ecosystems with {S}entinel-2 imagery and determining their spatial wave height attenuation rates; (2) assessing the vulnerability of villages and natural habitats to coastal hazard risk; and (3) assessing the applicability of coastal protection measures in the {PNBA}. {W}e found that a total of 83% of the populated coastline presents a moderate to high risk of flooding and erosion, with {I}wik and {R}'{G}ueiba being the most threatened villages in the {PNBA}. {A}s for the ecological risk, two low-elevated islands, which support breeding colonies of birds, are particularly vulnerable to sea-level rise. {H}owever, in other areas, the rupture in the dune cord created new lagoons that present valuable ecological and economic interests like the {L}agoon of {B}ellaat. {I}mproving the comprehension of wave attenuation provided by coastal habitats, combined with identifying the vulnerability and applicability of coastal protection measures, is essential for achieving the {S}endai {F}ramework for {D}isaster {R}isk {R}eduction goals. {I}n the {PNBA}, relocation of identified villages at risk is probably the best cost-effective solution with the least disturbance to both breeding and wintering birds. {P}rotection of coastal ecosystems will also ensure a continued provision of other ecosystem services, including food supply for sea dependent populations, and contribute to achieving the {P}aris {A}greement and {S}ustainable {D}evelopment {G}oals.},
