Rationale
This book seeks to increase student awareness of some of the forces that shape our coastline, the natural behaviour of beaches, sediment flow, how man has interfered with this, and some management issues relevant to coastal land development in the hope that future generations will know and understand more, so that they can adopt codes of behaviour consistent with effective management practices.
