Pitfalls of Shoreline Stabilization

"Pitfalls of Shoreline Stabilization" is a specialized book that addresses the challenges and risks associated with coastal protection measures. In an era of rising sea levels and increasingly threatened coastlines, the book highlights various approaches to shoreline stabilization and their impacts on the environment and society. Through a variety of case studies from around the world, it demonstrates how measures such as seawalls, groynes, and artificial beaches not only protect coastlines but can also lead to significant ecological and social issues. The authors, J. Andrew G. Cooper and Orrin H. Pilkey, provide valuable insights into the need to rethink future coastal management strategies, especially in light of the challenges posed by climate change. This book is an important resource for professionals and those interested in coastal protection and environmental management.
