French (physical geography, U. of London) examines the range of methods used by engineers to protect coastlines around the world, and discusses the problems and issues generated by coastal defense strategies. 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.
