    To address saltwater intrusion, waves and storms in a vulnerable coastal area, I would: 1) Propose constructing offshore breakwaters to weaken waves and storm surges before reaching land, while allowing water exchange to flush out built-up saltwater. 2) Suggest replenishing eroded beaches and planting vegetation to form natural buffers that absorb wave energy. 3) Develop strict land use and construction rules to minimize development impacts on coastal processes, requiring studies before approving projects.

    Cite ways to prevent or mitigate the impact of land development, water disposal and construction of

    structures on coastal processes

    Role: You were assigned as the head engineer of a government project to design structure for a coastal
    area that suffers from saltwater intrusion, high waves and storm surges.

    Goal: Your task is to plan the structure and management that you would like to apply for this coastal
    area.

    Audience: You need to convince the critiques, district enginners and environmental activists that the
    structures to be constructed will not be affected by coastal processes

    Situation: Provide a sketch plan and a short explanation for each structure that you plan to build. You
    should also draft rules and regulations for effective management of the structures. Draft your own terms
    of agreement for the land development project that emphasizes coastal protection.

    Product?Performance/Purpose:

    Standards and Criteria

    Your Plan should include:

    -terms of agreement that emphasizes coastal protection

    -sketch plan
