海岸工程是海岸工程師和科學家的國際媒介。它將實際應用與現代技術和科學方法結合起來，如數學和數值建模、實驗室和實地觀測及實驗，出版關于沿海、海港和近海工程的下列方面的基礎研究和案例研究：波浪、海流和沉積物運輸；沿海、河口和近海形態；沿海和海港結構的技術和功能設計；沿海、海港和近海結構的形態和環境影響。

Coastal Engineering is an international medium for coastal engineers and scientists. Combining practical applications with modern technological and scientific approaches, such as mathematical and numerical modelling, laboratory and field observations and experiments, it publishes fundamental studies as well as case studies on the following aspects of coastal, harbour and offshore engineering: waves, currents and sediment transport; coastal, estuarine and offshore morphology; technical and functional design of coastal and harbour structures; morphological and environmental impact of coastal, harbour and offshore structures.
