In these pages you will find a vivid description of the 1938 hurricane and why we should plan for similarly destructive storms; an introduction to the geologic forces that formed our coast and continue to shape it today; and a review of regulatory mechanisms that control how our coast is managed. Here you will find the background to both understand how our coast will change in our lifetimes and constructive ways to live with those changes.
