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.

Ziggy Marley is the son of the late Reggae great Bob Marley, in 2012 he wrote a song called, “Beach in Hawaii.” Though the title is upbeat, Ziggy talks about loneliness and how he wants to be with a certain person on the beach in Hawaii. Throughout the song, Ziggy uses repetition, imagery, metaphors and similes to drive the point that he is lonely in paradise.

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.

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.

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

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

The real impact regarding local residents and businesses on Cronulla beach is their influence on the government as well as their input and suggestions on points of improvement for the Beach. After all, these are the people that are going to be affected the most from any changes occurring. For example the sea wall at Cronulla Beach is not the most attractive thing, yes it is highly beneficial but the local residents and businesses that have to look at it all the time, may not be as pleased as the government is with the idea. It also needs to be taken into consideration that future development doesn’t impact on their property value, access to the beach or coastal views.

There is a towing company in central florida that does something similar on the beach boardwalks, they put the signs up facing AWAY from the lot so you can't see them until you actually get out of your car and go to the beach, and they will have an employee in plain clothes and a binocolar calling the towing truck so by the time you go to move your car, it's already loaded up and there's "nothing they can do" so you have to pay hundreds of dollars to get your car back. It's basically extortion, its terrible.

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.

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)

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.

On January 26th after the British had fled, two French ships led by Jean Francois (Flood, 2006 p. 34) arrived spontaneously (Flood, 2006 p. 35). It was said that once French arrived they had intentions of being nothing more than having a peaceful encounter within the voyage in Australia, resulting in firing on the natives to try to keep them quiet when setting up camp (Flood, 2006 p. 35). The results of the French encounter resulted the aftermath of wreckage of their ships being found on Vanikoro in the Santa Cruz Islands in 1826 (Flood, 2006 p. 34). The engagement in which Aboriginals had previously endured and reciprocate towards the British and later French, had shifted towards a more aggressive and defending motion (Flood, 2006 p. 35-36,

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.
