Handbook of Coastal and Ocean Engineering

This third volume in the Handbook of coastal and ocean engineering series explains how the design and maintenance of coastal structures influences the environment, focusing on the latest methods of managing the expansion and development of coastal engineering. The first half of the volume discusses design aspects, including marine terminal technology, dredged navigational channels, hydraulic dredging technology, shallow-water dredging, dredged material disposal, anchors, buoy systems, and estuarine processes. The second part covers the environmental aspects of coastal engineering projects, including the effects of dredging; oil spread by wind, currents, and waves; response to oil spills; and containment and removal of spilled oil.
