This article explains the processes of coastal erosion and also describes the housing situation in areas that are dangerously close to the shore.  It shows where they should not be building in Southern Florida.

Foster, Sharon. (Feb 2004). National Defense. Vol.88, Iss. 603 pg. 10, 1 pgs.

This article is about a wave barrier that was erected in Virginia that could withstand the winds of a hurricane. It was built to protect the beaches from erosion. The winds were up to 80 to 100 mph.

Hendry-Brogan, Meghan. (2005). Design of a mobile coastal communications buoy. MIT Sea Grant College Program report

This is an MIT design program to create coastal communications buoys that may be helpful in monitoring the waters and therefore protecting the coast.  These monitering systems have been used to take maesurements of water activity, showing the patterns of the ocean.

Nature. London:. Vol. 436, Iss. 7054; p. 1071 (1 page)

This article describes how the illegal removal of coral from the coast actually made shri lanka more open to the damage of last year’s tsunami. The corals can be used as a natural block for some of the effect of the tsunami on the coast.

McGlashan, Derek J.(Mar 2003). Managed relocation: An assessment of its feasibility as a coastal management option. The Geographical Journal. Vol. 169; p. 6 (15 pages)

This article considers the feasibility behind moving structures away from the coast. It also includes a detailed plan as to how to move these structures away if necessary due to coastal erosion.

This arcticle explains how sanding the areas in florida around the peirs still did not help them from being destroyed during the massive storms there. Now there are massive rocks exposed because it was all that was left after the storm fronts.
