Coastal and oceanic landforms

The Selkie swam into his undersea cave that contained his human clothing. Last evening he’d had a vision he would find his life mate in the area above the sea caves. He needed to find her as his vision was too strong to disregard. She was a well-built sturdy young Scot lass with sparkling green eyes and long dark auburn hair which flowed to her waist. He had seen her in his dream, dancing at the local Highland Gathering. The young woman in his dreams was Mackenzie Sutherland’s destiny. He

Sibelco It is highly recommended for sand mining to discontinue in North Stradbroke Island to maintain and sustain the heritage and environment of the Island. This will be made evident through this analytical report when discussing its effects on the cultural aspect of North Stradbroke Island and preserving the environment. Despite the peak of income sand mining has granted for North Stradbroke, it also has paramount defects. The main liabilities of sand mining that will be disputed will be physical

Introduction The site chosen for this report is the Moolap Waterfront and its hinterland. It is located 5km East of the City Centre of Geelong, South -west of Melbourne, Victoria. The site is generally flat topography with a significant coastal frontage and it’s considered to be a flood prone area.(This should go up) In addition to private industrial uses majority of the land are crown lands. Native flora and fauna species inhabit the area along with the industrial sites. Alcoa and Cheetham saltworks

The beach is a place where the land and the sea unite to form a playground for people. People not only go to the beach to soak and relax in the warmth of the sun, but also to play in the squishy sand and the cool waters of the ocean. Beauty is found in every aspect of the beach. From the way the sun playfully bounces off the ocean, to the sight of waves gracefully crashing on the shore, it is no surprise that when people go to the beach they face the ocean and take in all the beautiful sights this

but local residents have opposed this due to “concerns over the impact this would have on their homes and on business”. The task question I have chosen is ‘Investigate the reasons for varying approaches to coastal management’. The specific question I will be focusing on is ‘Should the coastal defences at Cuckmere Haven be retained?’ Initially I was interested in the discussion of future management

Coastal areas, are areas where water and land meet and creates a brand new environment, for us to live and take a view in. An ecosystem is a large community of living organisms, with plants and animals, in particular area which interacts with one another and with their non-living environments. (weather,climate, earth, sun soil. There are 14 coastal ecosystems that fully functions into a reef: coral reefs, lagoon floor, islands, open water, seagrasses, coastline, estuaries, freshwater wetlands, forested

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

“ Numbinbah Valley is a valley and suburb located in the Gold Coast Hinterland in South East Queensland, Australia”(City of Gold Coast, 2015) (see appendix 1 ). The Scenic Rim, which is a group of forested mountain ranges, covers 116 km of valley. Compared to other areas of the Gold Coast the Numbinbah Valley has remained largely undeveloped in recent decades containing a wide variety of freshwater organisms. The Valley is part of the upper catchment area of Nerang River, which flows into the Hinze

to prevent erosion, replantation on the dunes was evident, a lengthy fence line had been constructed to prevent human damage of the dunes, and numerous pathways/staircases had been constructed to allow safe descent from the bank. 2.4 Success of Coastal Management Practices: Overall, current management practices have been insufficient in protecting the wellbeing of the coastline (i.e. the beach itself is considerably eroded, and the fence line and access routes are in disrepair). As a consequence
