Preface

 

 The Okinawa archipelago, located in a subtropical area, has well-developed coral reefs along its coastline, and the excellent natural environment of the coasts had previously well maintained. However, the natural environment of the islands is currently in a critical state because of the rapid development and the deterioration of natural coral reefs, particularly on the main island of Okinawa. Although there used to be many sandy beaches composed of coral sand, the number of such natural sandy beaches has been rapidly decreasing. The rise in the sea level due to global warming will also affect the stability of sandy beaches in Okinawa. To mitigate damage to the coasts and sandy beaches, it is necessary to determine present state of Okinawa’s coasts. Therefore, the present state of the coasts of Okinawa was investigated by field observations, and the results of the field observations of the coasts on Okinawa’s main island and Miyako and Irabu Islands were summarized in this book, together with an introduction of coastal engineering.
