| Notes | “Coastal erosion poses a major threat to coastal communities by limiting beach access, endangering backshore infrastructure, and impacting ecologically important environments. 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…” (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. |
