Correcting and sometime neutralizing natural processes in order to design coastlines more amenable to commerce, as well as designing built structures that participate in the interaction between sea and land, are the concerns here. Practicing engineers discuss such aspects as international perspectives on coastal structure uses, numerical and physical modeling, selecting a design wave height for coastal engineering, and groins and jetties.
