Coastal Development, Conservation and Sustainability
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
Development within coastal areas has increased academic interest in erosion problems. People have made major efforts to manage coastal erosion problems and to restore coastal capacity to accommodate short- and long-term changes induced by human activities, extreme events and sea level rise. The coastal erosion problem worsens whenever the applied countermeasures (either hard or soft structural options) are inappropriate or improperly designed, built, or maintained. The key point lies in that the effects on adjacent shores are not carefully evaluated. Coastal erosion is widely addressed locally at specific places or at regional or jurisdictional boundaries instead of at system boundaries that reflect natural processes. This anomaly is mostly attributable to insufficient knowledge of coastal processes and the protective function of coastal systems. This Topic will elaborate on and discuss the causes of coastal erosion induced by human activities; erosion management options; and the role of coastal forests and trees in protecting coastal areas against coastal erosion, as well as their socio-economic and environmental considerations.
