Coastal Management: Integrating Science, Engineering and Management
2000,
252 pages, hard cover
$107.60
This volume presents the proceedings of the fourth in a series of highly successful conferences. Coastal management issues covered in the volume include planning and implementation, economic evaluation, the contribution of technology, legal and geomorphic impacts, and the increasingly important subjects of managing risk and uncertainty. An international perspective is provided by the papers dealing with integrated coastal management projects and regulatory issues in Sri Lanka, the UAE, Barbados, Japan, and Denmark. Themes that are of particular interest for the future are discussed, including the UK’s flood defense aims, objectives, and targets, and the need or otherwise for a European directive for coastal management. Papers are grouped under five headings: comparative coastal management, prediction and management of change, management plans, risk, and into the next millennium. This volume presents the latest thinking on a subject that has been rapidly evolving over the past decade, making this book an important reference for anyone involved in coastal management.
