Coasts in Crisis - A Global Challenge (Paperback)

Coastal regions around the world have become increasingly crowded,
intensively developed, and severely exploited. Hundreds of millions
of people living in these low-lying areas are subject to short-term
coastal hazards such as cyclones, hurricanes, and destruction due
to El Nino, and are also exposed to the long-term threat of global
sea-level rise. These massive concentrations of people expose
often-fragile coastal environments to the runoff and pollution from
municipal, industrial, and agricultural sources as well as the
impacts of resource exploitation and a wide range of other human
impacts. Can environmental impacts be reduced or mitigated and can
coastal regions adapt to natural hazards? Coasts in Crisis is a
comprehensive assessment of the impacts that the human population
is having on the coastal zone globally and the diverse ways in
which coastal hazards impact human settlement and development. Gary
Griggs provides a concise overview of the individual hazards,
risks, and issues threatening the coastal zone.
