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. |
