  • Description:
    Lots of surprises may await the unwary property owner along Florida's shoreline, and one important purpose of this book is to provide a good basis for where and what to buy and not buy. In this book, we sometimes may seem to be critical of the efforts of engineers, developers, and state officials in their role in the development of the East Florida shoreline. But we fully recognize that usually they are simply carrying out the dictates of a public that is ever-anxious to get a better view of the sea. During the last couple of decades, however, coastal scientists and engineers have made great advances in understanding the nearshore oceanographic environment. Written for the layperson, this illustrated book includes: *Detailed guidelines for building and buying at the shore with maximum protection for your investment and yourself; *Site-safety maps and descriptions for every stretch of shoreline from Fernandina Beach to Key West in enough detail to help you find your specific homesite; *Up-to-date advice on land use and the law; *Easy-to-follow discussion of the dynamics of shoreline change; *Ways to guard yourself from the hazardous effects of hurricanes; *A field-guided tour of the Miami Beach shoreline; *Photographs, drawings, maps, checklists for further reading; *And guides to federal, state, and local agencies involved in coastal development that will be of value to the homeowner, planner, or developer. This volume is the sixth book in the Living with the Shore series.
