	note = {Erosion is a constant hazard on the Oregon Coast.  The typical response of a property owner threatened with erosion is to install shoreline protection structures to harden the property{\textquoteright}s interface with water.  There are several problems associated with this response:  unarmored neighboring property will experience even more erosion, the structure may block beach access, and the beach{\textquoteright}s sand budget is diminished, since less sand will feed into the beach. This doctoral dissertation examines the shorelines in the Siletz littoral cell, which extends from Cascade Head to Government Point, in order to see how Oregon{\textquoteright}s shore protection policies are implemented. At the time the dissertation was written, 49\% of shoreline properties in the Siletz littoral cell were armored.  {\textquotedblleft}Given expected future erosion and relative sea level rise along the central Oregon coast, some beaches may gradually disappear{\textquotedblright} (from the Abstract). The author suggests an overhaul of Oregon{\textquoteright}s land use planning process, focusing on the littoral cell rather than the individual piece of property, and stressing hazard avoidance rather than hazard mitigation.  This is an important work. B/w photographs, colored maps, structural drawings.},
