In this book, Norbert Psuty and Douglas Ofiara incorporate perspectives from the areas of coastal sciences, economics, public policy, and land-use planning in creating a systematic plan for coastal management and protection. It has been more than a decade since New Jersey developed the nation’s first state shore protection plan, and this volume provides a timely evaluation of its achievements and future challenges. This self-contained book provides all of the relevant theories, models, and examples so the reader will not need to refer to any other literature to gain an understanding of the issues and policies surrounding shore protection. It is the authoritative handbook for practitioners and policy makers in many fields, including coastal science and management and engineering, as well as public policy and economics.
NORBERT P. PSUTY is the director of the Sandy Hook Cooperative Research Programs, Institute of Marine and Coastal Sciences, Rutgers University. DOUGLAS D. OFIARA is an assistant professor of public policy and management at the Edmund S. Muskie School of Public Service at the University of Southern Maine, and is a visiting scholar with the Institute of Marine and Coastal Sciences at Rutgers University. He and others together with Psuty worked on the Coastal Hazard Management Report submitted to the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, out of which this book was developed.
