My Favorite Place

After the dredging in 2009 occurred effects from the procedure were seen within just two weeks, all being negative. Some longterm effects include loss of beaches and marine life. Portsea beach for example is no longer a beach and now the government is spending millions of dollars in sandbags to attempt to stop the beach from degrading even more. Erosion is slowly destroying the coast and

These strategies are sustainable and appropriate however more immediate action should be taken based on visitors’ opinions and beliefs. Coastal management strategies are simply requirement strategies like council clean ups, and does not include necessary updates and improvements in facilities and stores. This beach is lacking in short and long term major improvement plans as it’s an undervalued beach in contrast to more populated beaches. Councils and governments are putting off major plans for a small town beach which is the reason for its slow upgrade time period and lack of serious management.

The resorts had proved resilient and survived a major hurricane, and this encouraged investing in the area. All the resorts were quickly rebuilt and even more resorts and buildings were built due to the new found confidence of the investors. The damage they couldn’t fix was the beaches. The resorts brought some of the sand that had moved farther inland back to the beaches, but their wasn’t enough sand to fix everything. There is now a limited number of nice flat beaches in the peninsula that tourists love. The fact that it takes several years or even decades for the beach to fully recover from a Hurricane is mind

There is nothing like a vacation, a place where everything you enjoy is close by and

I think we all have a beautiful place in our mind. Somewhere where we can go and get away from our everyday life. A place where we can just go and have a good time and forget about everything we left behind. That place for me is Assateague Island, Maryland. I have only been to Assateague Island two or three times but I for sure would love to go down again, sometime soon. The experience that I had down there was amazing.

Preserving coastlines is important for the economy and the environment. The fact that the business world and the preservation world are on the same page is a good indicator that maintaining beaches are important for both people and animals. The data that has been collected by both parties, thus far will hopefully bring a more cost effective and more long term solution for beach replenishment. So the beach bums and the sea life may continue to enjoy one of the most beloved landscape for generations to

Here is my sacred space, Carlin Park, which is located in my hometown, Jupiter, Florida! The park features tennis courts where I often practice, a running trail, a delicious restaurant, and of course beautiful beach access to Juno Beach. You can spend an entire day here and never get bored, although many people simply set up a picnic at the many picnic tables or just relax. This place is sacred to me because whenever my life got hectic, I knew I could pack up my car and head over to Carlin Park and spend a couple hours at the beach to clear my head. The space itself is so bright and open since it is right on the water. There is so much to do and appreciate. I had my first cross country meet ever in this park, and I was not even nervous since

My favorite place is San Clemente in California. I remember my first time going there falling in love with that town. I have a friend who invited me to come over his house, and I went two years ago. Since that occasion San Clemente turned into my favorite place to be. In this paper, I am going to explain a little bit of the background of this story. When I first got here I remember passing hard times as an international student since I could not get use to speaking the language, living in a different country and living a different life style. During my first week in school in The United States I knew a friend from California whom always hang out with, so was on spring break when I got to go to San Clemente for the first time in my entire life. I will describe further how is that place like and why is my favorite.

The term place attachment can be described as a location or place where an individual has a memory that brings backs their positive feelings. Looking back, I believe that my place attachment would be the basketball court. The reason would be because it always reminds me of the good things and friends I made throughout the various seasons.

My favorite place is far, but not that far away. The only way you can get there is by a car. It's my grandmother's house.

Since they were built in the early 20th century, there has been a steady increase in beach erosion. In the 1970s, the government issued a project to replenish the beaches by replacing the sand that had been eroded away over time (Fox). In the 1940s seawalls and groins and even some small jetties were built to protect the properties on the beach. By the time new sand was brought to the beach in 1991 to replenish what was eroded, there was hardly anything left. A lot of the seawalls and groins were buried in order to form the new beaches. The cost of this over the years is well into the millions and although replenishing the beaches with sand is helpful now, it is hardly a long term solution (Fox). There are even implications now as they add more sand. The gradual slope of the beaches before erosion and the replenishment of sand is no longer. The adding of sand from other places to these beaches in mass quantities means that the sand forms steep drops into the ocean in relatively shallow water. This can be dangerous for kids and adults alike who are not careful when in the water

As I sit here, on the hood of my car looking out into the vast field I think to myself, why this place? Out of all the places that mean so much to me, why does this place stand out the most? Everyone has that one spot that is special to him or her for various reasons whether it be a memory, experience, how it makes them feel, etc. For me, my favorite place encompasses all my senses bringing them to an all time high filling me with an overwhelming indescribable feeling. It’s my sanctuary, a safe place, but above all a place to clear my mind and getaway from reality. There aren’t enough captivating words to describe the beauty of this place. In the winter, the vast field covered in a blanket of untouched glimmering snow surrounded by bare

The coastal management programs are very important for many reasons such as, to protect homes and businesses from being damaged and even destroyed by coastal erosion or flooding. This report will be investigating social, political, economic and environmental the natural coastal processes which are currently taking place at Palm Beach, such as longshore drift and erosion and will also focus on the impact of human disruption to natural processes. The site that was chosen to investigate was Palm Beach on the Gold Coast. While the students were at the excursion they took note of the current states of vegetation, wind speeds, primary dune developments as well as longshore drift to assess the beach and to try and find a suitable management strategy for the future. The two proposals were, A: continue current costal management strategies in terms of the Beach Nourishment Program which results in sand being pumped onto the beach and B: Construct an Artificial Reef off the shoreline of Palm Beach to minimize the impact of beach erosion to the beach. These two proposals were then examined and evaluated against the criteria of social, political, environmental and economic

Words like cozy, calm, and memories can be used to describe my special place. A special place depends on the individual you are referring to. To me a special place allows the person to be happy and sad at the same place. This is where all realms of memories are made, allowing the individual to be able to reflect on them when entering that special atmosphere. In the warm summers I sit in our lawn with my dog as the cool wind blows, a feeling falls over me thinking about why I love my home and property so much and that I'm so very thankful to have it. I zone out for hours thinking about all the time that I have spent there with my family and friends. While I never regret any of the memories I have made, I cherish all of them and hold them close to my heart.

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.
