This book identifies restoration strategies for beaches and dunes, and discusses ways to educate stakeholders in physical, economic, social and ethical principles in addition to ecological values. Written for coastal scientists, engineers, and policy makers, it is also a reference text for courses in coastal management and environmental ethics.

This volume discusses the role of humans in transforming the coastal landscape and details the many ways beaches and dunes are eliminated, altered and replaced. It is aimed at practising coastal engineers, research scientists and developers but will also be useful as a reference for graduates and advanced undergraduates.
