Full color publication. The Coastal Engineering Manual (CEM)
assembles in a single source the current state-of-the-art in
coastal engineering to provide appropriate guidance for application
of techniques and methods to the solution of most coastal
engineering problems. The CEM provides a standard for the
formulation, design, and expected performance of a broad variety of
coastal projects. These projects are undertaken to provide or
improve navigation at commercial harbors, harbor works for
commercial fish handling and service facilities, and recreational
boating facilities. As an adjunct to navigation improvements, shore
protection projects are often required to mitigate the impacts of
navigation projects. Beach erosion control and hurricane or coastal
storm protection projects provide wave damage reduction and flood
protection to valuable coastal commercial, urban, and tourist
communities. Environmental restoration projects provide a rational
layout and proven approach to restoring the coastal and tidal
environs where such action may be justified, or required as
mitigation to a coastal project's impacts, or as mitigation for the
impact of some previous coastal activity, incident, or neglect. As
the much expanded replacement document for the Shore Protection
Manual (1984) and several other U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
(USACE) manuals, the CEM provides a much broader field of guidance.
Part IV "Coastal Geology" includes chapters on terminology,
geomorphology, and morphodynamics.
