Abstract
Coastal ecosystems are dynamic particularly along the land/sea interface of both beach and estuarine systems. Conflicts between static human development patterns and shifting coastal shorelines have increased over the past half century given greater development activity along the water‘s edge. The prospect of continued coastal development at still greater density and climate induced change including accelerated sea level rise is focusing increased attention on shoreline change and management options to address long-term change.
