Abstract

Summary: This book is a collection of all papers published in the Special Issue "Coastal Vulnerability and Mitigation Strategies: From Monitoring to Applied Research". The main focus is to provide the state-of-the-art and recent research updates on sustainable management strategies for protecting vulnerable coastal areas. Based on 28 contributions from authors representing 17 different countries (Australia, China, Ecuador, Germany, Greece, India, Italy, Mexico, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Poland, Spain, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, United Arab Emirates, UK, USA), an ensemble of interdisciplinary articles has been collected, emphasizing the importance of tackling technical and scientific problems at different scales and from different point of views.

3. Vulnerability Analysis of the Venetian Littoral and Adopted Mitigation Strategy

Abstract

This paper discusses the key aspects of the recent Coastal Plan of the Veneto Region (IT). Its aim is to propose a single mitigation strategy for coastal erosion that is valid for the whole Veneto Region, and possibly elsewhere, as well as a method to assign a priority level to any action. The suggested mitigation action against erosion depends on urbanization level, beach width, as well as cross-shore and long-shore sediment transport. The criterion used to give a priority level to mitigation actions is based on a vulnerability index that takes into account erosive tendency, existing coastal flooding hazards, coast value, environmental relevance, tourist pressure, urbanization level, the presence of production activities, and cultural heritage. A sample case featuring the littoral of Rosolina is also provided and includes a site description, the sediment budget, critical issues and possible mitigation measures.

7. The Coastal Plan

Author

Bailey, Gil

Abstract

Describes efforts to create a state coastal plan for preservation and development of the California shoreline. Proposition 20, an initiative measure passed in 1972, called for creation of a California Coastal Plan. Elements of the plan were submitted in a bill by State Senator Anthony Beilenson, but the bill died in committee even after its provisions were weakened through amendments. Powerful forces oppose each other on the issue of a coastal plan. Proponents of the plan warn that the coastal ecology is threatened with permanent damage unless development is made more rational. Opponents cite problems in the state's economy which could worsen through regulations restricting coastal development. Some form of legislation will pass eventually, but its strength will depend on those who have the will to fight for it. Photo.
