Much of this chapter has concentrated on the experience of economically advanced countries whose coastal development has been based around a property-owning population such that coastal policy emphasises property protection. Yet this model is inappropriate for societies where the mass population is agrarian, subsistence based and poor. For example, the use of insurance as a policy instrument to control coastal development would not be effective in Bangladesh whereas it is of considerable importance in regulating barrier island development in the USA (Dawson, 1987).

Considerable research has been undertaken into developing and testing predictive equations for longshore transport using wave thrust only. Comparison of the numerous versions of predictive equations shows a great variation in outcome (Horikawa, 1988). The objective of establishing joint transport potential for longshore currents and wave thrust is a developing science though not yet one with great predictive ability. Beach variation is a reflection of variable longshore transport which controls the conveyor between the source sediment (Qs) entering the beach and the sink sediment leaving the beach (Qk).
