Human Impact On Semaphore Beach

Beach nourishment is used in both Cronulla and Collaroy but the sand is sourced from different areas. Sand is dredged from the Port Hacking River for Cronulla while Collaroy receives its sand from the Narrabeen Lagoon. Both are effective areas because the sand that is dredged prevents blockages in the river mouths and allows ships to pass through.

The Sandon Point was considered a potential State Significant site under the State Environment Planning Policy (Major Development) 2005. In April 2006, the Minister authorised Stockland and Anglican Retirement Villages to submit a concept plan for the development of Sandon Point, Wollongong. The concept plan was approved in December 2006. In November 2007 the Minister’s approval was challenged in Walker v Minister for Planning [2007] NSWLEC 741, 174 LGERA 127 due to the Minister’s failure to take in to consideration the principles of ecological sustainability, specifically, climate change and flooding. The Court of Appeal found the Minister guilty of failing to consider public interest in the concept planning stages and made it mandatory to be considered in the development approval stage.

There are many things that affect Henley beach naturally such as the wind and waves, sea grass loss, seabed instability, and the sea level rise. The wind and waves have a natural impact on the beach by the process of longshore drift. According to Adelaide’s Living Beach Strategies, during coastal storms, large quantities of sand can be eroded, causing considerable damage to near shore beach and dune areas (Department for Environment and Heritage, 2005, Adelaide’s Living Beaches, Government of South Australia, Adelaide, accessed on the 5/6/15) and this means that the sand has to be replenished artificially which is what we want to prevent. Another thing that affects the beach is seagrass loss and seabed instability which involves the vegetation

Jude Furniss, president of the Surf Rider Foundation Manly, states that “it is raising awareness of plastic pollution.”

Humans have adversely affected the South Port sand dunes particularly the biophysical processes occurring in the accretion cycle and on the flora and fauna in the biosphere. People, especially boot campers, are walking or running in the wrong areas causing cliff faces to gradually collapse. There are also people camping in areas that there should not be campers, council has had to remove tents and mattresses as a consequence. (Jock Conlon, 2017)

Long Island is famous for its sandy ocean beaches. Between the barrier beach and the main coast is the Great South Bay. The beaches and dunes have very different characteristics. The sandy beach is the junction of land and ocean. The sandy beach consists of two zones, the swash zone and the drift line. The swash zone is the area of wet sand, caused by the incoming wave. The drift line is formed by the dead seaweed and other aquatic plants. Behind the sandy beach is the primary dune. The primary dune's main function is to absorb the force of the ocean and protect the great south bay and the island's main coast. In some cases secondary dunes form. These dunes are behind the primary dune and are therefor protected from the ocean. This provides the stability necessary for plant growth. Many time a maritime forests will form on secondary dunes.

There are 2 types of beaches. One is erosion dominant and the other is deposition

cruising through those small towns with souvenirs shops to each side, seafood restaurants mixed in and public access trails to the beaches spotted along the route you will notice that the buildings directly on the beach are on stilts.

The transport in Melbourne has changed and developed throughout the years. Transport is a predominant part of the Melbourne city, and is relied upon by millions. Transport in Melbourne consists of extensive networks and a wide variety of transport services available to the public, including:

As a parent, you are surely disheartened to watch your teenager struggling with addiction. Dealing with the situation is difficult because your teenager has not yet developed the capability of completely under standing the dangers related to their behavior. Many times, it falls on you as the loving parent to be the one to find them the help they need. When your child is ready, you should take the time to seek out the right teenage drug addiction treatment center.

During the Great Depression and between 1926 and 1933, housewives setup self-help groups to aid their locals in the community who were greatly affected by the Depression because they were no longer able to afford basic necessities- food, clothes, and shelter. The housewives played was a step up from traditional gender roles. They no longer passive, waiting for the men to take care of it, and instead were proactive leaders who worked side by side with men. They took leadership while organizing strikes, barter exchanges, and demanding what they wanted from businesses and the government. This showed others that women are no longer the traditional stereotype, where their only duty was to stay at home and cook, clean, and take care of the kids, and rather be leaders outside the house.

In New Jersey alone state, local and federal agencies have spent 1.2 billion dollars over the last thirty years to dump 120 million cubic yards of sand over the state’s coastline. This high price tag is in part due to the fact that the sand that is placed on the coastline quickly erodes and a new project must be undertaken. In fact, sand used to nourish beaches erodes at a rate that is often two to three times faster than natural sand.This creates a cycle in which beaches are constantly needing to be renourished and does nothing to actually prevent the process of erosion.

Dover Beach intrigued me as soon as I read the title. I have a great love of beaches, so I feel a connection with the speaker as he or she stands on the cliffs of Dover, looking out at the sea and reflecting on life. Arnold successfully captures the mystical beauty of the ocean as it echoes human existence and the struggles of life. The moods of the speaker throughout the poem change dramatically as do the moods of the sea. The irregular, unordered rhyme is representative of these inharmonious moods and struggles. In this case, the speaker seems to be struggling with the relationship with his or her partner.

This leaves the sand dunes more susceptible to erosion causing blowouts and disrupting the succession of vegetation in the area. This has been a problem at Studland Bay in Dorset on the south coast of England. Persistent human leisure activities on the dunes has led to substantial erosion in some parts of these dunes which has meant that Management programs have had to been introduced by English Nature. Sand dunes help absorb the pounding of high waves and reduce overwash flooding in storms.

The place where I feel most comfortable is a place where I am calm. A place that is peaceful in its own ways. It is the place to go to get away from all my troubles. It is the one place where I could sit forever, and never get tired of just staring into the deepest blue I have ever seen. It is the place where I can sit and think the best. A place where nothing matters but what is in that little moment. The one place capable of sending my senses into an overload. This place is the ocean.
