The Coastal Zone

1999
The coastal zone is of considerable practical importance since it is a region of intensive human activity and rich in biological activity, compared to the open ocean. At the same time, the spatial variation of the atmospheric surface flow and the surface wave field are complex and both are often in nonequilbrium.

The Coastal Zone

1978
As far as people are concerned the coastal zone is probably the most important part of the ocean as about two-thirds of the world’s population lives near the coast. The coastal zone sits at the interface between the two major environments of the earth—land and ocean.

Regionalizing Coastal Zones with Geospatial Tools for Integrated Coastal Zone Management

2009
Integrated coastal zone management (ICZM) requires clearly defined geographical regions. Geospatial tools in geographic information software provide systematic approaches for defining coastal zones and the limits of a nested hierarchy of management zones or units. In this chapter, a comprehensive set of approaches and their implementation are presented

Plans for the Coastal Zone

2005
Coastal Zone and Shoreline Management Planning will benefit from continued development of “best practice”. High quality, consistent topographic information is key to the effective integration and interpretation of the varied data that are essential components in Shoreline Management Plans. These data will deliver greater benefit if they are used within

Saltmarshes and the coastal zone

1987
Vegetated lands regularly inundated by tidal waters have both a biological fascination and considerable economic importance. One aspect of biological interest comes from considering a set of terrestrial plant taxa collectively termed ‘halophytes’, which have accommodated to the marine environment. These range from the grasses and rushes, many herbs and
