Coastal Management: Integrating Science, Engineering and Management - Tapa dura

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. Themes that are of particular interest for the future are discussed, including the UK`s flood defence aims, objectives and targets, and the need or otherwise for a European directive for coastal management.
