The author concludes that, {\textquotedblleft}Put simply, in the Siletz littoral cell outcomes are inconsistent with policy goals.  Policies give preference to hazard avoidance and nonstructural means of erosion control, yet in practice, seawalls and revetments are the preferred hazard reduction strategy{\textellipsis} Cumulative effects of current practices, which may result in significant beach loss over the long term, are given little consideration.{\textquotedblright} (p.348)},
