Innovative Coastal Zone Management: Sustainable Engineering for a Dynamic Coast
Coastal zones around the world are vital to recreation, travel, tourism and wildlife but also play an increasingly important role in energy capture, international trade, habitation and the economy.
The coast provides engineers and scientists not only with numerous
opportunities for development, but also a host of challenges and
barriers to successful management.
ICE's 7th Conference on Coastal Management will cover
an extensive range of subjects including; policy, engineering,
management and social and environmental implications. Featuring expert
addresses from professionals, focusing on sustaining and developing
coastal zones, and the barriers that need to be overcome to allow coasts
to meet our economic and social aspirations while respecting their
natural function.
The conference is the seventh in this series recognised for its focus on current issues, and its balance between research and practical application.
The event will be a forum for forthright discussion, highlighting
advances and solutions as well as identifying key areas of debate.
Coastal Management 2011 will comprise keynote addresses
by leading experts and technical paper presentations. Papers will be
made available to delegates prior to the conference and following the
event the papers that have been presented will be included in the formal
proceedings.
A Technical Visit will be added to the programme at a later date and
there will also be various networking opportunities over the two days,
including a Conference Dinner and Drinks Reception.
