Beach nourishment

Erosion of Shorelines The erosion of shorelines is a natural process that can have beneficial or adverse impacts on the creation and maintenance of habitats. Sands and gravels eroded from the shores of coastal bays maintain the beach as a natural barrier between the open water and coastal wetlands. Beaches move back and forth onshore, offshore and along shore with changing wave conditions. The finer-grained silts and clays derived from the erosion of shorelines are sorted and carried as far

Analyzing Coastal Management Strategies Coastal Management strategies need to consider not only physical processes but also factors associated with human geography. Analyse why this is the case. Coastal management is a means of controlling development and change in the coastal zone and undertaking work according to agreed principles and criteria. By taking into account

Golden Beach, Kings Beach and Shelly Beach. When considering what suitable coastal management strategies could be used in this area to protect the built-up area of private homes, high rise buildings, tourist facilities and the nearby commercial area of Golden Beach shopping center with positive environmental outcomes being mangroves and dunal re-vegetation, positive aesthetic outcomes being looks more natural and relocation of more animal species. The positive economic outcome of the Golden Beach area

to see a white sand beach and blue, sinuous waters ahead. Every step down we take, the distinct smell of the water enters our noses and exits clean and untouched as we inhale out. On the beach, families are sitting on their blankets and folding chairs, with their umbrellas open to hide them from the harmful rays of the sun. Kids run around and splash each other in the cold waters of Lake Michigan. We find a nice spot on the beach, lay down our towels, and sit down. The beach is one of the cleaner

Coastal engineering is an increasing field of importance due to the growing population in coastal areas and the trend of moving to coastal communities. Currently over 90% of Australians live within the narrow and dynamic coastal fringe (Mariani & Turner 2013). Approximately one half of the Australian coastline consists of sandy beaches and it is projected that they will be the worst impacted by the predicted global warming (Cooke et al. 2013). Increasingly, sandy beaches are being squeezed between

Every year millions of dollars of state and federal dollars are spent to essentially place tons of sand on America’s beaches. This process known as beach nourishment. Proponents often point to this method as effective way is a way to fight against beach erosion The causes of this erosion are both manmade and natural, but regardless of the cause this process is only a stop gap that does not actually address this issue. Instead, both the federal and state governments have spent billions of dollars

geologically unstable island. Our beaches are formed by the erosion of offshore rocks and promontories. The fine size crystals of quartz and other material are carried onshore by waves and deposited on the beach. Numerous methods have been attempted, with varying degrees of success to combat

the most suitable option to implement at Palm Beach to ensure both short and long term health and sustainability of the beach. Even though the artificial reef had some negatives, they were outweighed by the environmental, social and long-term economic advantages. The artificial reef is an earth-cantered system which can be implemented as an environmentally form of economic growth, and it is a sustainable use of resources which will ensure that Palm Beach is maintained and in good condition for future
