The Application of Costs and Benefits Analysis in Coastal Land-Reclamation
Advanced Materials Research, 2012Today, the coastal areas of the world amounting to nearly 10% of the total world’s land area, supports nearly half of the world’s human population. This causes serious population pressure and environmental problems. To reduce the pressure of land scarcity, cities along the coastal land are now paying their attention to land reclamation.

Characteristics and Reasonable Management Approaches of Coastal Reclamation in Korean
Journal of the Korean Society for Marine Environment & Energy, 2012This paper analyzes the current status, characteristics, and problems of coastal reclamation in Korea and suggests effective management approaches. Reclamation is concentrated from the West Sea to the South Sea. In the 1980s and 1990s, most projects were intended for agricultural use, whereas in recent years reclamation for industrial and harbour sites(

Carbon fluxes of China's coastal wetlands and impacts of reclamation and restoration
Global Change BiologyAbstractCoastal wetlands play an important role in regulating atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations and contribute significantly to climate change mitigation. However, climate change, reclamation, and restoration have been causing substantial changes in coastal wetland areas and carbon exchange in China during recent decades. Here we compiled

Progress in coastal sand dune reclamation in Queensland, Australia
International Journal of Biometeorology, 1974Over 75% of Queensland's population of nearly two million people live within 40 km of the coast and there is intense development of parts of the coastal areas. There is therefore great pressure on coastal areas, not only by direct human developments such as towns, industry, and recreation, but also by indirect human agencies such as grazing and burning

The Environmental Costs of Coastal Reclamation in Metro Cebu, Philippines [PDF]
, 2005 This study assesses the environmental cost of a large coastal reclamation project in the Philippines. It was undertaken to find out whether such projects generate an overall loss or gain for society as a whole. Such assessments are rarely made for projects of this type.

Biogeomorphology of large-scale coastal land reclamations
1997Projections are that Rotterdam, one of the worlds' largest harbours, will be in need of 1250 hectares of additional harbour area within the next 15 years. To meet this demand a substantial land reclamation ("Maasvlakte-2") is considered, which could provide 1000 hectares of new harbour areas and 750 hectares for nature and recreation. In addition, just
