Ecological and Environmental Impacts of Construction in the Coastal Zone
2007
Gangstad, E. O.
Engineering works have been developed to alter the coastline to suit man's desires. However, imperfect knowledge of the nature of the forces acting in the coastal zone and their effects has resulted in unexpected or undesirable effects. Frequently such alterations create substantial conflicts between uses. For instance, use of the waters for waste disposal, resulting in pollution, directly conflicts with recreational and fishing uses. The filling of wetlands for use in residential, industrial, or port construction conflicts with wildlife and estuarine preservation, recreational uses, and fishing interests.
