Inhaltsangabe

This work provides the geomorphological and ecological background on beaches in terms of how they are utilized and managed. It deals with the origin of beaches, the processes at work on them, the causes of beach erosion and accretion, and the ways in which the coast has been modified by anti-erosion structures, the emplacement of artificial beaches, and the use and development of beaches for recreation. It provides background for those concerned with planning and management of the coast, particularly where there are problems of erosion and beach maintenance, and for those concerned with beach usage and recreational development. It also provides information and case studies for courses in coastal management and addresses questions in coastline management: where does beach sediment come from and how is it delivered?; How are beaches shaped and modified by coastal processes?; What is the cause of beach erosion?; How are beaches affected by structures such as sea walls?; and what happens when artificial beaches are constructed?
