Beaches in Japan have been eroding since the 1970s as a result of the artificial land alterations. Due to the port and dam developments, fluvial sand supply has significantly reduced resulting in shoreline recession around the river mouths. This book examines many coastal areas as examples, highlighting the various erosion factors.
