Beach Management is dedicated to building long term relationships by taking care of business, so time at the beach is a fun one. 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. Most ancient coastal efforts were directed to port structures, with the exception of a few places where life depended on coastline protection. Venice and its lagoon is one such case. Protection of the shore in Italy, England and the Netherlands can be traced back at least to the 6th century. The ancients understood such phenomena as the Mediterranean currents and wind patterns and the wind-wave cause-effect link. The landscape we see today is probably very much like what we would have seen three hundred years ago a vast beach, marsh and a developing sand dune ridge. This book is fed with the information of this subject. This book will be very useful for a wide range of interested groups.
