Environmental Problems, Possible Assessment and Management Solutions
«
"Documenting beaches from Japan to South Africa, Brazil to Spain, Finland to Italy, and California, this text comprising 11 in-depth articles presents empirical evidence of the vulnerable and dynamic nature of sandy coastlines. Human activities compounded by climate change threaten the stability and very existence of beaches to the detriment of both terrestrial and marine life. This book represents a call to action for better strategies to manage, conserve, and restore beaches through scientific outreach and collective efforts that integrate economic, social, and ecological dimensions. Photographs, charts, graphs, and other visual material plus more than 900 cited references enhance the text."
