A coastal sea area usually indicates a sea area between a
continental shelf break with a water depth of about 200 m and the
land shore. About 70% of global fish resources spend part of their
life cycle in the coastal seas, which accounts for 90% of marine
biomass yield. Freshwater and nutrients from the land have a great
influence on the coastal seas, especially since more than half the
human population lives within 100 km of a coast. Chemical reactions
occur there rapidly between substances from the land as they
encounter substances from the ocean. In terms of physics, a coastal
sea acts as a boundary layer and kinetic energy is actively
exchanged there. But if coastal oceanography were to be summed up
in a single sentence, it would be the study that quantitatively
makes clear the material transport in the coastal sea area'.
Because the physical, chemical and biological processes relate to
the material transport in the sea, it can be said the coastal
oceanography is a genuinely interdisciplinary study. This book
clarifies the quantitative material transport processes in the
coastal sea area, mainly from a physical viewpoint.
