In this, the eighteenth title in Duke University Press's "Living With the Shore" series, the authors present a "user's guide" to the coastal zone of Puerto Rico. Presenting a geological appraisal of the history, dynamics, and hazards of the island's coastline, "Living With the Puerto Rico Shore" is the first in the series to examine a tropical region and the first to examine an area outside the continental United States.The book provides detailed descriptions of the entire shoreline, noting the specific coastal hazards of each coastal reach. These hazards include coastal erosion, storm surge flooding, and potential damage from earthquakes. Where high-density development or significant roads and utilities are particularly at risk, these are also noted. The effects that sand mining, seawalls, jetties, and other attempts at coastal engineering have had on the island are examined. Finally, the authors discuss historical and legal aspects of coastal planning in Puerto Rico, presenting guidelines for selecting building sites.Of interest to all concerned with protecting our shores and beaches and useful to the coastal planner and manager, "Living With the Puerto Rico Shore" contains an extensive bibliography and a list of agencies involved in coastal issues.
