This book summarizes approaches that integrate the environmental, economic, and physical domains with the values, and needs of the population are necessary to develop sustainable strategies that will enhance the resilience of small islands, within the context of inter-island differences in geology, ecology, societal attitudes, governance, and human and economic resources. The impacts of coastal damage and flooding are predicted to worsen during this century due to rising sea levels and increases in the frequency and intensity of storms. The usual approach to coastal protection in Small Island Developing States (SIDS) in the Caribbean is to view both the hazards and the solutions from the “Ocean Side” perspective and to react with “hard” engineering solutions. These structural engineering approaches prevent damage and disruptions to services associated with predictable events but leave communities vulnerable to future events that do not follow historical trends.

Hurricanes, typhoons and major storms reach their maximum power at sea, and during that peak power thousands of marine workers are forced to deal with those immense forces in order to carry out their jobs. National Geographic placed more than 1,000 cameras with people working at sea all around the world, on cargo ships, military vessels, fishing boats and oil rigs, to document monster storm systems on a scale never seen before.
