Coastal lagoons are fragile ecosystems that account for 13-15
percent of the world's littoral zone. Coastal lagoons constitute an
essential environmental reservoir for fluvial sediments due to
their capacity to retain them and also the accompanied elemental
pollutants. In recent times it has been a common practice to
redistribute large amount of coastal sediments for beach
nourishment projects to combat shoreline retreat. The problem of
beach/shoreline recession/erosion are as a result escalating
impacts of emerging global geophysical changes, such as rising sea
levels, and coastal development. This book examines the
environmental effects of engineered solutions of massive
dredge-and-fill methods which have been adopted world-wide in
regard to the issue of shoreline erosion.
