Many strategies are used to protect the coastal area such as a sea bee wall to counteract wave destruction‚ sand dune revegetation to regenerate growth or construction of rock pools and rocky platforms to avoid coastal erosion. All three of the management tactics are used at Cronulla Beach‚ which is an extremely popular Australian hotspot for residents‚ tourists and the

Cronulla Beach is a popular tourist attraction and attracts many beachgoers from all over Sydney. It is located on a southern Sydney peninsular‚ surrounded by Botany Bay to the north‚ Bate Bay to the east‚ Port Hacking to the south‚ and Gunnamatta Bay to the west.

Figure 1 Figure 1 The results of the vegetation quadrats along a transect on Studland sand dunes showed that the amount of vegetation increased and changed‚ while the percentage of bare ground decreased as the sampling sites increased. The reasons behind this can be explained by clarifying what a typical transect is‚ starting with low embryo dunes near the shoreline and much taller mature dunes several hundred meters back from the shore

Erosion is the name of the process which break the things like lands and continents down. The total process of weathering and breaking down is known as denudation. Commonly‚ through the process of erosion‚ the large things get broke down into some smaller pieces. The boulder turns into sand. Both the processes of weathering and erosion usually happen in the direction of downhill. The process weathering breaks up the rocks and therefore the sands are carried away by the process of erosion. Types

problem is that the buildings reduce the beaches ad many construction sites extract coastal sand for their projects. The coastal erosion that affects my hotel are both natural and anthropogenic. The slow rise of the sea level is gradual and takes time to happen‚ but this region is impacted by hurricanes and tropical storms which cause a severe costal erosion in short time. Many efforts to combat erosion‚ such as sand fill‚ are defeated by severe weather systems. As we have seen on all natural processes

He missed the last bus out of the dessert and so the local villagers offer to let him stay overnight in one of the recently widow’s house which is below the dunes. From this

Landforms by Erosion (erosion is the main process) * High-energy waves * Rocks that are easily eroded 1) Cliff and shore platforms Point : A cliff is a high‚ steep rock face along the coast. Explanation: A cliff is formed when waves repeatedly pound against a rocky coast Elaboration: This weakens the rock‚ causing the lines of weakness to form in the rock face * Over time‚ the waves erode the coast to cut a notch along the lines of weakness. * The notch may be further

Coastal Erosion Coastal Erosion is a huge problem today and is causing our beaches to get smaller and smaller every year. Coastal erosion is also causing the coast lines to recede and therefore taking away space for which people build on. Even though coastal erosion causes issues it is also the effect of something‚ Humans! Nature has a way of keeping the world in balance‚ it creates things such as barrier islands and sand dunes to help protect against costal erosion. However‚ humans play a

Humans are also impacting erosion by: the many recreational activities along the beach (e.g. horse riding and four-wheel driving places on large dune areas.)‚ the rising population of Cronulla’s population and the doubled amount of people visiting the Cronulla Coast during the holidays. These factors place pressure upon the infrastructure and coastal environment‚ which can make large dune areas and beaches
