Public Policy Aspects of Beach Erosion Control

David W. Fischer

American Journal of Economics and Sociology, 1990, vol. 49, issue 2, 185-197

Abstract: Abstract. Beach erosion control conies with it several issues of importance to the public. The origin of these issues include the beach as a public good, the way decisions are derived for beach erosion, the assumptions behind beach erosion control, the incentives each actor faces in forming a beach erosion control strategy, and the concern for equity in beach erosion control decisions. The decision‐making system surrounding beach erosion control is outlined. The author concludes that all relevant interests require access to decision‐making for the public interest to be determined.
