Aspectos físicos das dinâmicas de ambientes costeiros, seus usos e conflitos
Coastal environments are extremely dynamic. They are the meeting point of land, ocean, and atmospheric processes that are constantly changing their features. One of the main challenges posed to geology,oceanography, and coastal engineering is the understanding of how and why these changes occur. Conversely, the occupation of coastal zones is complex, diversified, and leads to many conflicts. Despite the numerous attempts at reducing these conflicts, we are still a long way from solving these problems. Important definitions are still missing: What kind of coast do we want? What is the ideal coastal area likeand what can be built on it? How do we manage coastal areas? We still need to understand better how the coastline works geologically and oceanographically. But above all else, we need to understand itsinterrelationships with biologic, economic, social, political, legal, and institutional dynamics.
