In consulting businesses in coastal seas areas, it is necessary to observe and analyze conditions of the flow, water quality and ecosystem, which make it possible to explain the field phenomena quantitatively. The vast and complicated field phenomena are divided into several elemental components, which should be explained logically and quantitatively. Furthermore, these components should be reintegrated to reproduce the complicated phenomena with high accuracy. These processes are essential to the applied studies of oceanography and coastal engineering. This report demonstrates that advancement and integration of past studies are necessary for the applied studies on the coastal sea area, and they are useful for consulting businesses ; two example are herein described. For the future, it will be necessary to train young students and researchers in order to manage the appliedstudies well.
