| Abstract |
Men have waged an endless and relentless fight against encroachment of the sea upon their land; they even captured some space from the sea. Seldom have they raised the question whether the battle could ever be won. Conquests upon the sea have been admired and heralded as masterpieces of achievements in coastal civil engineering. But were these environmentally wise moves, and were/are they sustainable in our contemporary view of matters and today's scientific knowledge? |
