摘要:

Risk from the “natural event system”; of hurricanes varies greatly along the U.S. coastline, and so do the property and lives at risk. Damage potential from storm surge in the Miami area is less than a third that of the Tampa area. However, damage potential from winds in the Boston and New York areas exceeds that of either the Miami or Tampa areas. Passage of time since the great hurricane disasters near the turn of the century and improvements in the warning system may make coastal dwellers underestimate the likelihood of a hurricane catastrophe. But population growth near the coast has been more than three times the national average, and 10 of 58 coastal segments 50 miles in width more than doubled in population between 1960 and 1970. Twenty‐two segments increased by more than 25,000 people with six increasing by 150,000. Legislative response to the growing hazard has varied as widely as risk but is not clearly correlated with risk.

摘要:

Environmental management planning is described as an emerging professional discipline characterized by a new set of implementation tools. In order to identify the direction of environmental management planning, two federally funded programs, the Coastal Zone Management Program (U.S. Department of Commerce) and the ‘208’ Areawide Water Quality Management Planning Program (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency) are reviewed. CZM and ‘208’ plans and programs expected to receive federal agency approval during 1977–1978, as well as CZM and ‘208’ legislation form the basis for the comparison. It is concluded that the implementation methods being used by these two environmental management planning programs have a number of similarities.

摘要:

The successful implementation of structural and nonstructural solution to problems of shoreline erosion is greatly facilitated if the accumulation and analysis of data sets are accomplished within a design framework which has both theoretical validity and practical application. An inventory of beach resources based upon breaking‐wave energy and beach mobility is presented as a basis for a beach classification system. This method should be used with existing inventories compiled by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. A simplified means of determining changes in beach position and slope is suggested; this will facilitate gathering data in a daily time series at numerous locations by a minimum number of people. Examples of how the inventories may be conducted and a sample classification system are presented for selected portions of the shoreline of New Jersey.
