The 2 volume proceedings of the 9th ICE Conference on Coastal Structures and Breakwaters discusses the state of the art in analysis, design and construction of breakwaters and other types of coastal structures, including interaction between coastlines and structures, and vice versa.A vital resource for any practitioner involved in coastal engineering, or development and management of the coastal zone, these ICE sponsored conferences have been driving change and setting the agenda for over 25 years.
