This new edition - now with Nancy Jackson as a co-author -
continues the themes of the first edition: the need to restore the
biodiversity, ecosystem health, and ecosystem services provided by
coastal landforms and habitats, especially in the light of climate
change. The second edition reports on progress made on practices
identified in the first edition, presents additional case studies,
and addresses new and emerging issues. It analyzes the tradeoffs
involved in restoring beaches and dunes - especially on developed
coasts - the most effective approaches to use, and how stakeholders
can play an active role. The concept of restoration is broad, and
includes physical, ecological, economic, social, and ethical
principles and ideals. The book will be valuable for coastal
scientists, engineers, planners, and managers, as well as
shorefront residents. It will also serve as a useful supplementary
reference textbook in courses dealing with issues of coastal
management and ecology.
