Looking Back: Shore & Beach, 75, 50 and 25 years ago (2023)

April 2, 2023Press Releasesasbpa_web

Shore & Beach has a rich history of coastal research and the archive provides a useful resource to delve into prominent coastal issues. To share some of this history, the Editorial Board has reviewed past issues and is posting some articles from 75, 50 and 25 years ago. The first round of articles, from 1947, 1972 and 1997 is also available. These papers were selected to remind readers that many of today’s concerns have been part of the S&B discussion for years. We hope you enjoy this historic perspective and if you have any favorite articles from past issues, please let us know what they are and we may include them in a future round of free articles.
