How effective are the coastal management strategies used at present in your local beach area?

Thorpe Park is a theme park located in Chertsey surrey and is owned by a company called Merlin entertainments, and is the second largest location based entertainments business in the world. The only company that is bigger than Merlin Entertainments is Disney world.

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.

This is not just an architectural design and the fashion, but because of the fact that the developers know that the land is being swallowed by the sea. More and more houses, hotels, shops and restaurants have decks and some piers that lead into and over the water. The Florida Department of Environmental Protection even has courses for those in construction to acknowledge the erosion and increase the proper design, construction and maintenance of erosion and sediment control. The beaches, whether sandy or rocky are the buffers that keep the sea at bay from the land behind enemy lines. They are nature’s way of saving all the people and their livelihoods from being swept away into the deep blue yonder. When waves crash into the beach it carries sediment with it and deposits such sediment. The alternative is that when a wave recedes back into the ocean it carries that sediment back to sea. This is usually done at an unequal rate, and leads to coastal erosion. In fact, coastal erosion is one of the reasons we have so many beautiful beaches around the world due to their unique shape. Long shore currents move water in a parallel direction of the shoreline, carrying the sand with it. But as we continue to build piers, docks, sea walls, and jetties

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

Brighton, Glenelg, The West Beach Boat Ramp, Semaphore and Largs North Beach have all been influenced by hard engineering techniques. As an example, Glenelg was one of the few beaches that had some form of a breakwater along the coast. Breakwaters are notorious for having immediate impacts on the beach, but are ultimately useful in protecting the land that meets the beach. The real question is; “Do the benefits, outweigh the negatives?”. Breakwaters are

Despite being so popular however, Bournemouth currently has plans of regeneration certain parts such as the pier; a new spa village and they are also closely focusing on sports and leisure. However despite the rapid growth of population verging on being a problem I believe that regenerating certain parts, which are aimed at attracting tourists, is only going to worsen the situation.

Also, This bring tourism to the beach. When tourism occurs, then the place gets know more. There are many things to do in ocean city. This is why even when the forecast is calling for rain

The seawall was constructed at Long Beach to prevent further coastal recession and to protect personal properties, community areas and infrastructure threatened by erosion along Long Beach. A seawall has been present at Long Beach for many years but the current seawall was officially opened in 2010. I 2010 when the seawall was updated a new promenade was also constructed to encourage the use of the area. The construction of both the seawall and the promenade totalled a cost of $5.6 million. By preventing further coastal recession, the properties and community areas situated along the coastline and at low elevations are protected from becoming inundated or damaged as a result of erosion. Seawalls in some cases have been known to disrupt the natural flow of sand along the beach and lead to increased erosion in front of the wall as well as at the end of the wall. Although this increase in erosion is a risk, the presence of this potential issue is not currently obvious at Long Beach. The seawall at long beach was constructed with a slope which dissipates the energy from the waves. By using this design there is less risk of further erosion as a result of the seawall and the seawall is hit with less force and is less likely to become damaged from the force of the waves in the near future. As well as the design of the seawall, the seawall is also strengthened using

Bill Fisher Reserve, Apex Reserve, Cambridge Road Reserve, Bridge Street Wharf Reserve, and Day Street Reserve are simple parks with at least seating and some have picnic tables These parks all provide nice water

New York, who has been an avid user of beach replenishment for decades. The first time they used it was “on the construction and expansion of the shoreline off of Coney Island and Brighton Beach” (Muka, 2015). Samantha Muka stated in her Article “Building Beaches: Beach Nourishment in the United States” They spent over $1,900,000 on the project which included a boardwalk and hard stabilization. New Jersey has also used beach replenishment after Hurricane Sandy. Samnatha Muka “Estimated that in one stretch of New Jersey, the storm eroded over 500,000 cubic yards of sand; 43% of New Jersey beaches lost 50-100 feet of beach”. She also states “ Virginia Beach required $9 million of nourishment after Sandy. That was the 49th time that stretch of coastline had been built up since 1951.” With how much time and money that has been going into these projects people might think that beach replenishment is a permanent solution, but it's quite the

Just imagine it, soaking in crystal blue saltwater in a four hectare pool surrounded by sandy shores, comfortable cabanas that envelope you in relaxation, and a view of the Pacific Ocean. This family friendly destination offers

Some amount of natural erosion is necessary to provide the sediment for beaches in estuaries and coastal bays. However, excessive erosion has occurred in the past due to development. Industrial and private development along the world’s coastlines has increased dramatically since the 1970s (Nepf). Developers and builders completed much of this construction without taking into account the effects of coastal erosion. New buildings were often placed too close to the existing shoreline so that

Its primary business is management, development and ownership of resorts and hotels and it is highly involved in the two award-winning brands; Banyan Tree and Angsana. It also operates Laguna Phuket which is a leading integrated resort in Thailand through

Universal Studios Singapore (USS) (Appendix 1) is a globally-recognized brand, a local theme park located within Resorts World Sentosa which had a grand opening on 28 May 2011. It is the first Universal Studios theme park to open in Southeast Asia. The park is 20 hectare and the official park map was revealed to the public on 20 October 2009. The park features 24-themed rides, of which 21 are normal rides, 6 roller coasters and 2 water rides.(Wikipedia,2015)The 24 rides and shows segregated by 7 themed zones gives visitors a taste of different movie experiences all within one park, in an organized fashion. Universal Studios Singapore is owned by Genting Group on 8 December 2006 as they won the bid to build Singapore’s second integrated resort.
