Text of Note

"This book analyzes the tradeoffs involved in restoring beaches and dunes on intensively developed coasts, the most effective approaches to use, and the ways to educate and involve stakeholders. It identifies restoration strategies that can be employed to enhance natural processes and make coastal landforms more dynamic, while maintaining their value for shore protection. In addition to ecological values, the concept of restoration is expanded to include physical, economic, social and ethical principles, and ideals. Compromise management solutions are suggested to accommodate the needs of many different user groups, including municipal managers and individual property owners, whose role has remained unassessed by existing publications on the same issue. The means of overcoming inertia or antagonism to environmentally friendly actions are also discussed. The book will be of interest to coastal scientists, engineers, planners, and managers, as well as to shorefront residents and tourists who want to take action to enhance natural resources, it will also serve as a useful supplementary reference text for courses dealing with issues in coastal management, ecology, and environmental ethics."--Jacket.
