19. ABSTRACT (Continue on reverse if necessary and identify by block number) 
Coastal engineering is a specialized branch of the engineering profession which 
requires the knowledge of many physical sciences and engineering disciplines in the 
practice. Typical coastal projects involve planning, design, and/or construction for 
harbor developments; navigation channel improvements; coastal inlet stabilization; coastal 
flooding and shoreline erosion protection; and beach restorations and nourishments. 
Coastal engineers not only have to be familiar with the broad disciplines and the up-to- 
date technologies in their practices, they must also have appropriate environmental data 
to ensure the safety, and economical and functional reliability of their undertakings. As 
the Shore Protection Manual provides a handy reference for the application of techniques 
and methodologies to the solutions of coastal engineering problems, this report addresses 
the sources of coastal engineering data and information.
