Here are a host of methods for retaining sediment on coastal areas where it is required. Examples are taken from many countries, but the emphasis is on oceanic margins, headland control, erosion prevention, and other defense matters. It will benefit professionals involved in coastal engineering and management, geomorphology, geology, geography, and local government engineering as well as consulting firms and government departments.
