There are many reasons to be near the sea‚ a lot of artist and writers have drawn inspiration from the coast lines of the world‚ there have been lots of films and books that are set in and around the sea‚ the natural features of a coastline are spectacular enough to look at on its own‚ but when coupled with sandy beaches and the sound of crashing waves all

rising sea levels‚ ocean floor topography and coastal soil types also affect erosion rates. According to Evans (2010)‚ “There is significant debate about how to best manage coastal resources to cope with the changing shoreline. When and where will the coast change? And what‚ if anything‚ should we do about it?” In spite of such debate‚ there are still regulations designed to protect areas appearing to be in greater erosion danger. Since the mid 1970s‚ the Coastal Zone Management Act has mandated that

Human activity‚ as well as natural processes‚ such as waves and storms causes erosion on the coast line. Through his studies Barbaro found that urbanization and industrialization along the coastline‚ is directly related to erosion and affects the natural evolution of the shoreline. Greater knowledge between wave and structure can reduce the amount

While perusing the gallery I was fascinated by one painting in particular. The piece was called “Ante Meridian”‚ oil on board‚ c.a. 1935 by Frederick Judd Waugh (American 1861-1940). This representational painting was of a presumably north eastern coast line where waves were battering the cliffs and rocks during a stormy day.

The Oregon Coast. The sunset glistens against the raging ocean water. I could walk for miles on the sand as it is ongoing never ending. While your feet sink in the sand I can ponder the peacefulness around me. The way the two rocks were hit by the glowing sunrise set a reflection of crystals in the clear water. There was a slight misty breeze‚ as I walked along the water. The Oregon coast is my sanctuary with the two most beautiful rocks that stood on the edge of the unknown below them.

EFFECT OF BREAKWATERS ON WAVE ENERGY DISSIPATION ABSTRACT The northern Egyptian coasts are subjected to many changes in shoreline balance due to waves and coastal currents. To protect and develop these coasts‚ many types of coastal protection structures have been used. This research demonstrates the effect of different systems of coastal protection structures on wave energy dissipation. By using the CGWAVE numerical model‚ the effect of each one and interaction between these structures on
