Coastal Management Whilst researching about Coastal Management on Cronulla beaches‚ I have discovered that Coastal Management along the beach is required. To manage the coast we must be aware of the effect of human activity‚ erosion and decaying of the sand dunes as they destroy the beach but the Council has helped prevent these issues. One of the main issues is erosion; erosion is the process of wearing something down due to the action of water and wind. If erosion goes left unattended‚ the beach

the coastline. To prevent this problem and minimize storm surges having such a large impact and causing severe damage to the coastline‚ rock revetments can be placed on South Cronulla beach (parallel to the beach and the coastline and in front of the dune system). Behind the rock revetments sand bags can also be placed‚ as sand bags absorb the water and they will act like a line of final defense when extreme waves are in action. Rock revetments are designed to reduce the impact on erosive power coming

Cronulla Beach Cronulla Beach is the longest beach in Sydney and has an extensive history of storm and erosion damage. It is also one of Sydney’s most popular beaches‚ being easily accessible by rail‚ holding significant cultural value in the shire and being a prime surfing location. But if more isn’t done to tackle climate change‚ Sydney’s South may lose its iconic and prominent summer day destination. Cronulla is a thriving tourist destination‚ and losing the beach would have a profound

Sand Dunes The Importance of Vegetation Sand dunes are a valid indication of the quality of the soil and the surrounding ocean. When vegetation is established in sand dunes‚ it stabilises it- i.e. gives the dunes structure. This structure helps prevent erosion by using the plant life to trap the sand. Without these plants (and ultimately the sand dunes) sand will be subject to many natural forces without protection‚ meaning any major storm could theoretically remove large amounts of sand from

Aeolian features form in areas where wind is the primary source of erosion. The particles deposited are of sand‚ silt and clay size. The particles are entrained in by one of four processes. Creep occurs when a particle rolls or slides across the surface. Lift occurs when a particle rises off the surface due to the

Both layers of loess and sand dunes are landscape features deposited by wind. -Loess -Sand Dunes: Wind can deposit sand in mounds or ridges called dunes when it encounters an obstruction. * Types of Sand dunes: The shape

be in dynamic equilibrium. This means that sand is moved from one location to another but it does not leave the system. For example‚ winter storms may remove significant amounts of sand‚ creating steep‚ narrow beaches. In the summer‚ gentle waves return the sand‚ widening beaches and creating gentle slopes. Because there are so many factors involved in coastal erosion‚ including human activity‚ sea-level rise‚ seasonal fluctuations‚ and climate change‚ sand movement will not be consistent year after

1.0 Introduction Last term the Biology and Geography class went to Hastings Point‚ New South Wales to visit three ecosystems found in the area‚ such as- mangroves‚ sand dunes and rocky shores. Hasting Points is the smallest coastal settlement of Tweed Shire. The hamlet is nestled between the ocean on its east and a delicate estuary on its west. This report will focus on the unique coastal habitats of Hasting Points and the various issues that challenge the sustainability of mangroves surrounding
