Engineering for Coastal Ecosystems

Engineering for Coastal Ecosystems provides an in-depth exploration of the principles, challenges, and applications of coastal engineering, a specialized branch of civil engineering focused on construction, development, and management of coastal zones. This book delves into critical areas such as coastal geochemistry, integrated coastal zone management, and infrastructure design, emphasizing sustainability, professional ethics, and conflict resolution in the face of environmental challenges.

Readers will learn about the dynamics of coastal systems, including waves, tides, storm surges, and sea-level changes, and their implications for erosion control, port maintenance, and harbor construction. Combining elements of civil engineering with oceanography and geology, this book also covers wind, temperature, and environmental considerations essential to coastal engineering. Additionally, it offers a comprehensive overview of regional laws and policies relevant to coastal development and conservation.

This is an invaluable resource for students, professionals, and anyone interested in preserving and managing coastal ecosystems sustainably.
