Elsevier Environmental Design Guidelines for Low Crested Structures

Manage coastal zones effectively with this professional guide from Elsevier. As manmade activities impact local environments and extend far beyond intervention sites, establishing comprehensive management plans is vital. This book addresses the growing interest in Low Crested Structures, which are coastal defense systems designed with a low-crest profile. Readers will gain insights into the sensitivity of environmental impacts caused by coastal defenses. The text examines the relationship between wave climate, beach erosion, and various beach defense methods. It also covers how these factors influence habitat changes and overall beach value based on established research results. This resource is essential for those studying the connection between coastal engineering and environmental preservation.
