Historically, much harm has been done by well-meaning coastal engineering attempts, which seemed like good ideas on paper but which failed to allow for practica

In the 20 years since publication of the first edition of this book there have been a number of significant changes in the practice of coastal engineering. This

Text on coastal engineering and oceanography covering theory and applications intended to mitigate shoreline erosion.

Laboratory physical models are a valuable tool for coastal engineers. Physical models help us to understand the complex hydrodynamic processes occurring in the
