NEW JERSEY SEA GRANT COLLEGE PROGRAM MANUAL FOR COASTAL HAZARD MITIGATION Compiled by Thomas O. Herrington 2 PREFACE New Jersey is often used as an example of a natural system gone awry. The unflattering term "New Jerseyization" was coined by a prominent scientist to describe a developed‚ eroding coast‚ where natural beaches have been replaced by engineering structures. This view may have been correct in the past‚ when seawalls and bulkheads replaced many of our beaches‚ but our beaches

In the mid-15th century‚ the Portuguese‚ led by Bartolomeo Diaz‚ sailed to discover India. However‚ they ended up on the East Coast of Africa due to ocean wind trades that drove them up into the Indian Ocean.

Together with other measures such as coastal reinforcement‚ the raising of quaysides and paving and improvement of the lagoon‚ the Mose has been designed to protect Venice and the lagoon from tides of up to 3 m and is due to enter into operation for tides above 110 cm. The work is being carried out by the Consorzio Venezia
