New Publications – June 6, 2008
The Construction Industry Research & Information Association (CIRIA) in the UK is in the process of fundraising to update its respected publication, the 1996 CIRIA Beach Management Manual (R153).
An Environment Agency scoping study was completed in 2007 identifying a number of changes and additions to be made to the existing manual to increase its uptake and use.
These included targeting beach managers who are increasingly non-engineers more involved with the amenity aspects of a beach rather than coastal defence.
