This book analyzes the tradeoffs involved in restoring beaches and dunes on intensively developed coasts, the most effective approaches to use, and the ways to educate and involve stakeholders. It identifies restoration strategies that can be employed to enhance natural processes and make coastal landforms more dynamic while maintaining their value for shore protection. In additional to ecological values, the concept of restoration is expanded to include physical, economic, social and ethical principles, and ideals. Compromise management solutions are suggested to accommodate the needs of many different user groups, including municipal managers and individual property owners, whose role has remained unassessed by existing publications on the same issue. The means of overcoming inertia or antagonism to environmentally friendly actions are also discussed. The book is written for coastal scientists, engineers, planners and managers, and also serves as a useful supplementary reference text for courses dealing with issues in coastal management, ecology and environmental ethics.

This book deals with the development of temperate coastal sand dunes and the way these have been influenced by human activity. The different states in which the habitat exists both for the beach/foredune and inland dune are reviewed against the pressures exerted upon them. Options for management are considered and the likely consequences of taking a particular course of action highlighted. These options include traditional approaches to the conservation and management of wildlife and landscapes as well as habitat restoration. The way the value of the areas changes under different management regimes is considered mainly from an environmental perspective. Consideration is given to new approaches to management and restoration including adopting a more dynamic approach. Audience This book will be of interest to academics, students and professionals concerned with policy formulation and /or actively managing coastal areas.
