Summary:All coastal areas are facing a growing range of stresses and shocks, the scale of which now poses threats to the resilience of both human and environmental coastal systems. Responsible agencies are seeking better ways of managing the causes and consequences of the environmental change process in coastal zones.

Successful strategies will have to encompass all the elements of management, from planning and design through financing and implementation, as highlighted in this book.
