Environmental/Social Crises on the Beach: This chapter will analyze the material, socopolitical and discursive elements of an environmental "crisis." The beach will be explored as a deeply politicized place, percieved differently by situated actors, who struggle to secure the shoreline.

Instead they are examined in a dialectical relationship between nature and social power that illustrates the way the biophysical properties and agency of nature's materiality configure the social relations competing over the shoreline.)
