Talk:Coastal management

message: I would not merge breakwater with this article. Coastal management is a much wider issue. Try global warming as another issue that is going to affect coastal management.

message: Under the sea wall heading it states that the wave energy is'absorbed' which is why maintenance is needed after only ten years. However, later on under the sea wall heading it speaks of 'reflected' wave energy. It also says this in the main sea wall article. Is the wave energy reflected or absorbed?
 
Both my dear! Reflection depends a lot on the slope of the seawall: if vertical, there is a lot of reflection; if at a gentle slope, there is more absorption than reflection (think about what happens on a beach >> almost no reflection). Note that seawalls are supposed to be rather steep, so they induce quite a lot of reflection (typically 50 to 100% of the incoming wave energy)Artreve 15:32, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

message: Coast defence redirects here. But this article has nothing on military importance or information. J. D. Redding
:Yeah, I was expecting an article on the military defense of coastlines. Does such an article exist on Wikipedia? --Delirium 06:56, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

message: Perhaps that Ronald Waterman can be mentioned in this section ?
Also, dredging companies like Van Oord and Boskalis use this technique.
EcoShape should also be mentioned.EOS january 2014

message: Decisions about coastal management have to take into account the advantages and disadvantages of each option as well as the cost implications of them. For a coastal management strategy to be implicated, the cost of the land must outweigh the cost of the project. Large settlements take priority, followed by strategically important locations such as power stations; areas of less value such as farm land are rarely given the same level of protection.

message: It seems that swamp cypress is also very important for coastal defense against storms, ...
In the episode regarding Aunt Julia at Atlas of cursed places, it was mentioned this species helped to protect New Orleans during the 1915 hurricane. Nowadays, Lousiana swamp has been degraded, and hence this protection has been heavily reduced.
Not yet mentioned in article.
