Managing Coastal Erosion

Committee on Coastal Erosion Zone Management, Water Science and Technology Board, Marine Board, Nati - Organizational Body;

Historically, coastal development in the United States was dominated by major urban regions oriented to commercial ports and defense installations. Elsewhere, coastal settlements were typically quiet fishing villages, vacation refuges, and older seaside resorts gradually evolving into year-round communities. Since the advent of the Interstate Highway System in the 1960s, increasing demand for coastal resources has expanded and transformed settlement patterns along accessible tidal and Great Lakes shorelines. Much of the U.S. population now lives within a two-hour drive of a coast and millions of inlanders travel much farther to spend vacations or transact business in coastal locations. Large numbers of retirees also have migrated coastward.
