Supersedes its Technical report no. 4 and the first edition: Shore protection planning and design. Includes bibliographies and index. From WIkipedia for Coastal Management: "In some jurisdictions the terms sea defense and coastal protection are used to mean respectively defense against flooding and erosion. The term coastal defence is the more traditional term but coastal management has become more popular as the field has expanded to include techniques that allow erosion to claim land.The coastal zone is a dynamic equilibrium area of natural change and of increasing human use. They occupy less than 15% of the Earth's land surface; yet accommodate more than 40% of the world population it is estimated that 3.1 billion people live within 200 kilometres from the sea. With three-quarters of the world population expected to reside in the coastal zone by 2025 human activities originating from this small land area will impose an inordinate amount of pressures on the global system. Coastal zones contain rich resources to produce goods and services and are home to most commercial and industrial activities. In the European Union almost half of the population now lives within 50 kilometres of the sea and coastal zone resources produce much of the Union's economic wealth. The fishing shipping and tourism industries all compete for vital space along Europe's estimated 89 000 kilometres of coastline and coastal zones contain some of Europe's most fragile and valuable natural habitats. Shore protection consists up to the 50's of interposing a static structure between the sea and the land to prevent erosion and or flooding and it has a long history. From that period new technical or friendly policies have been developed to preserve the environment when possible. Is already important where there are extensive low-lying areas that require protection. For instance: Venice New Orleans Nagara river in Japan the Netherlands Caspian Sea Protection against the sea level rise in the 21st century will be especially important as sea level rise is currently accelerating. This will be a challenge to coastal management since seawalls and breakwaters are generally expensive to construct and the costs to build protection in the face of sea-level rise would be enormous. Changes on sea level have a direct adaptative response from beaches and coastal systems as we can see in the succession of a lowering sea level. When the sea level rises coastal sediments are in part pushed up by wave and tide energy so sea-level rise processes have a component of sediment transport landwards. This results in a dynamic model of rise effects with a continuous sediment displacement that is not compatible with static models where coastline change is only based on topographic data." The U.S. Army Coastal Engineering Reserach Center CERC formerly the Beach Erosion Board has since 1930 conducted studies on shore processes and methods of shore protection. It is also involved in both shore protection and offshore engineering techniques. This SHore Protection Manual SPM incorporates new material and expands the coverage within the shore protection field. Volume I describes the physical environment in the coastal zone. Volume II addresses the interaction of the physical environment and the coastal structures and presents design parameters for use in the solution of coastal engineering problems. Volume II containcs four appendixes including a glossary of coastal engineering terms a list of symbols tables and plates and a subject index.
