During the past few years, the number of regional and national assessments of groundwater quality in regard to saltwater intrusion in coastal aquifers has increased steadily. However, most of the international literature on saltwater intrusion is focused on coastal plains with aquifers in unconsolidated material. Case studies, modelling approaches and parameter studies dealing with saltwater intrusion in those systems are abundant. While the hydrogeology of fractured rock has been intensively studied with both modelling approaches and parameter studies—mainly in relation to deep-laying fractured crystalline bedrock as potential waste repositories—case studies on saltwater intrusion in shallow fractured rocks are still an exception. This review summarizes the actual knowledge on saltwater intrusion in fractured crystalline rock. In combination with short overviews of the processes of saltwater intrusion, flow in fractured systems and the genesis of these systems, the review highlights the importance of the fracture systems and its specific characteristics. Fracture properties are a direct consequence of the geological history as well as the current situation of the coastal area. A holistic assessment of water quality in coastal areas hosting fractured crystalline bedrock therefore requires the combination of different approaches in order to investigate the impact of saltwater intrusion through the fractured system.
