Johannessen: Soft Shore Protection as an Alternative to Bulkheads Soft Shore Protection as an Alternative to Bulkheads— Projects And Monitoring
"... Traditional “hard ” bulkheading has been the norm at Puget Sound and Northwest Straits shores until very recently, when “soft shore protection ” alternatives have been encouraged by regulators and well-informed citizens. Soft shore protection locally entails the use of indigenous materials such as g ..."

Further work needs to be conducted to document and improve project performance and acceptance of soft shore protection. Rigorous assessment of project performance to include current beach surveys at a variety

An evaluation of the economic performance of the US Army Corps of Engineers shore protection program
- Journal of Coastal Research
, 1997
"... a request from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). The investigation disclosed that the USACE shoreline protection program covers 8 percent of the nation's 2,700 miles of critically eroding shoreline and consists of 82 specifically authorized projects. Total actual expenditures, includin ..."

The economic analysis of ‘soft’ versus ‘hard’ solutions for shore protection: an example
- Proc. 26th International Conference on Coastal Engineering
, 1998
"... This paper presents the design and economic analysis for two alternatives (soft-versus-hard) for shore protection of facilities at the US Navy's Fleet Combat Training Center, Dam Neck, Virginia, USA. Three key factors are discussed that resulted in the selection of the soft alternative (dune co ..."

1 Sand-filled Geotextile Containers for Shore Protection
"... In search for soft, sustainable and easily reversible coastal protection measures a con-cept was found which was already applied to close a dike line during the end of the 1950. Since that time sand containers have mainly been used as temporary protection or safety measures because long-term con-str ..."

SHORE PROTECTION AND HABITAT CREATION AT SHAMROCK ISLAND, TEXAS
"... Shamrock Island is located in Corpus Christi Bay, Texas. The island is undeveloped and serves as an ecologically important rookery to a number of nesting bird species, in particular, the royal tern. The island formed as a series of spits that were connected to Mustang Island at the eastern edge of C ..."

PHYSICAL AND 2D NUMERICAL MODELING OF WAVE FIELD IN THE VICINITY OF GAPS IN BRUSHWOOD FENCES USED AS SOFT SHORE PROTECTION STRUCTURES
"... ABSTRACT A common soft protection measure, called brushwood fences, is widely used in shallow regions of large lakes in Switzerland where high waves, during major wind events, are able to reach the shore and induce severe erosion. Mainly constructed of wooden piles and tree branches, brushwood fenc ..."

Efficient Learning of Label Ranking by Soft Projections onto Polyhedra
- JOURNAL OF MACHINE LEARNING RESEARCH
, 2006
"... We discuss the problem of learning to rank labels from a real valued feedback associated with each label. We cast the feedback as a preferences graph where the nodes of the graph are the labels and edges express preferences over labels. We tackle the learning problem by defining a loss function for ..."

with the number of the nodes in the feedback graph, we derive a problem of a significantly smaller size and prove that it attains the same minimum. We then describe an efficient algorithm, called SOPOPO, for solving the reduced problem by employing a soft projection onto the polyhedron defined by a reduced set
Experimental Study On The Performance Of Submerged Breakwater As Shore Protection Structure
