Introduction
The fifth Asian and Pacific Coastal Engineering Conference (APACE 2009) will be held on the campus of Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore, in September 2009. This conference will be jointly organized by the Chinese Ocean Engineering Society, the Coastal Engineering Committee of Japan Society of Civil Engineers, the Korean Society of Coastal and Ocean Engineers, and the Maritime Research Center at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore.

The aim of APAC (Asian and Pacific Coastal Engineering Conferences) is to promote technological progress and activities, information exchange and cooperation. It is also a platform  for engineers and researchers to keep abreast of the scientific and technological advance in development of coastal, port, and ocean engineering and other related fields. The previous four highly successful conferences were held in the following countries:

The First Asian and Pacific Coastal Engineering Conference (APACE 2001) was held in Dalian, China, 2001.
The Second International Conference on Asian and Pacific Coasts (APAC 2003) was held in Chiba, Japan, 2004.
The Third  International Conference on Asian and Pacific Coasts  (APAC 2005) was held in Seogwipo, Jeju Island, Korea, 2005.
The Fourth  International Conference on Asian and Pacific Coasts  (APAC 2007) was held in Nanjing, China, 2007.
