摘要
This paper presents a few observations about present-day coastal engineering, and it then discusses four challenges that will be faced by the coastal engineering profession in the near future: (1) responding to climate change; (2) maintaining the knowledge base; (3) advocating for coastal engineering; and (4) learning from coastal engineering practitioners. How we, as a community, respond to these challenges will define coastal engineering well into the future.
