Replacement for the Shore Protection Manual (SPM)

The CEM is the modern replacement of the Shore Protection Manual, the basis for coastal engineering practices in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and most standard engineering projects throughout the world. It incorporates contributions from worldwide experts/practitioners and latest research techniques, procedures, and information.  The CEM provides broader coverage of all aspects of coastal engineering than the SPM. New sections have been added on navigation and harbor design, dredging and disposal, structure repair and rehabilitation, beach restoration, wetland and low energy shore protection, cohesive shores, risk analysis, field instrumentation, numerical simulation, the engineering process, and other topics.
