The continuously growing human population along the world's coasts
will exacerbate the impact of human activities on all coastal
environments. Restoration activities will therefore become
increasingly important. In particular, sandy shores and coastal
dunes will require significant restoration efforts because they are
preferred sites for human settlement, industrial and urban
development and tourism. With this book experts in the field
present a comprehensive review of restoration studies and
activities, where 'successful' and 'failed' studies or approaches
from around the world are contrasted and compared. A major asset
the book provides is a compendium of studies showing that coastal
dune restoration has many definitions and thus leads to many
different actions. This volume addresses those with an interest in
conservation ecology and biology, coastal dune dynamics and
geomorphology, and coastal management who are seeking information
on the different strategies for coastal dune restoration applied in
different regions of the world. Finally, it will be a valuable
resource for coastal scientists and planners, as well as for local
and state officials, residents of coastal communities,
environmental advocates and developers.
