Coastal Management: Global Challenges and Innovations

Coastal Management: Global Challenges and Innovations focuses on the resulting problems faced by coastal areas in developing countries. Coastal management approaches must be constantly reexamined and updated for target groups including researchers, field practitioners, planners, and policy makers. This book gathers, compiles, and interprets the recent developments starting from paleo-coastal climatic conditions to present climatic conditions which influence the coastal resources. The chapters included in this book cover almost all aspects of coastal area management, including sustainability, coastal communities, Hazards, Ocean Currents and environmental monitoring.

Contributions from a global pool of authors with a wide range of backgrounds and disciplines , making this an authoritative and compelling referencePresents the appropriate tools used in monitoring and controlling coastal management along innovative approaches towards community participation and implementation of bottom-up approachesIncludes case studies from across the world, to allow for a thorough comparison of situations in both developing and developed countries
