This book discusses coastal defense measures, which have not
improved in the past few decades, and better alternatives. It
emphasizes on the existence of stable bays in coastal geomorphology
and their use in coastal stabilization. The conventional measures
for saving beaches, such as seawalls, groins, offshore breakwaters,
and renourishment, are discussed in detail, followed by an
alternative known as headland control. Many types of coast, and the
respective defense measures, are discussed, especially for eroding
beaches downcoast of harbors with long breakwaters. The formation
of offshore bars during storms is examined and the design of stable
recreational beaches is demonstrated. Practical design problems are
discussed in all cases. Many issues requiring attention in coastal
engineering are also outlined.
