Introductory chapters provide background information on coastal defense and the role of coastal processes in coastal defense management. Several chapters focus on traditional, hard approaches to coastal defense: sea walls and revetments, groynes and jetties, cliff stabilization, and offshore structures such as breakwaters and sills. Soft approaches are also examined, including sedimentation in mudflat environments, and managed realignment. The text concludes with a discussion of future coastal defense management and policies.
