Abstract

In 1968, the 90th Congress authorized this National appraisal of shore erosion and shore protection needs. This National Shoreline Study and the existing Federal shore protection programs recognize beach and shore erosion as problems for all levels of government and all citizens. To satisfy the purposes of the authorizing legislation, a family of 12 related reports has been published.... Shore Management Guidelines provide information to assist decision makers to develop and implement shore management programs..... The purpose of this guide is to assist decision makers: in evaluating the need and feasibility of preserving and enhancing their shores, and in developing and implementing a plan for doing so.
