This volume discusses the role of humans in transforming the
coastal landscape. The book details the many ways beaches and dunes
are eliminated, altered and replaced and the differences between
natural landforms and the human artefacts that replace them.
Emphasis is placed on the importance of retaining naturally
functioning beaches and dunes in ways that achieve natural values
while accommodating development and use. The issues dealt with in
this book will be of interest to practising coastal engineers and
research scientists, as well as to planners and managers of coastal
resources at all levels of government. It will be of particular
value to investigators planning for the future of coastal
development under accelerated sea level rise. The book will also be
useful as a reference text for graduate and advanced undergraduate
courses in geography, geology, ecology and other disciplines
dealing with the interaction between science, technology and
society.
