The preservation of coastal foredunes, features which provide the first line of defense for liiting backshore flooding is of particular interest as a valuable form of green infrastructure{\textellipsis}{\textquotedblright} (p.108) In this paper, the authors examine factors affecting dune growth and erosion. They compare three different sites on the Northwest Coast:  Oysterville, the Netarts Littoral Cell and South Beach. Field observations were supplemented with a modeling program, and the combination of the two has led to new insights.},

The county is naturally broken up into littoral cells: the Rockaway, Netarts, Sand Lake and Neskowin littoral cells are studied.  Two scenarios are given for 2009, 2030, 2050 and 2011.  Damage to coastal infrastructure, as well as possible breaching of estuarine barrier sandspits is covered. },

	abstract = {We first became aware of the importance of El Nino to coastal erosion in the Pacific Northwest - the shores of Oregon and Washington - during the extreme 1982-83 event. The realization that El Nino can bring havoc to our coast has been strongly reinforced by the 1997-98 occurrence. Beach and property erosion has been severe at a number of sites along the Oregon coast, recurring in areas that previously had suffered during the 1982-83 El Nino. The objective of this paper is to briefly examine the coastal processes enhanced by El Nino that are important in producing erosion along the Oregon coast. While measurements during the ongoing El Nino are still being collected and analyzed, it is evident that the processes are remarkably similar to those experienced during 1982-83. The main focus of this paper will be a description of the erosional "hot spots" experienced during the 1997-98 El Nino along the Oregon coast. The examples presented will serve to illustrate how El Nino processes combine to yield unusually severe beach erosion and property losses.},
