Groyne Investigation FINAL Report‚ Alice Cearns ABSTRACT The purpose of the investigation is to analyse the effect a groyne has on a beach’s formation and sand deposition‚ and the seasonal impact the ocean has on its shoreline. South Cottesloe beach contains native plants‚ from berry saltbushes to red-eyed wattles; it has accumulated sea wrack and rocky surfaces especially south of the groyne‚ and sand dunes running down to the swash zone. With fences running parallel to the water line‚ this

The Everglades National Park has 1.5 million acres of wet land. It’s important because it holds an abundance of wildlife and ecosystems that are dependant on each other. Everglades has many special features some of them consist of trails and boat tours of Florida Bay and

Introduction It is believed that Native Americans inhabited the lands of what is now Yellowstone National Park for more than 11‚000 years‚ until approximately 200 years ago‚ when European settlers began to drive many of them from their homelands. In 1872 Yellowstone was declared the world’s first national park as a way to preserve and protect the land for the “benefit and enjoyment of future generations.” (National Park Service) Yellowstone National Park covers a vast area in the Northwestern

when it rains it brings the pollution down with it. Sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide are the gases that form the acid rain. When these gases mix with moisture it can make rain‚ snow‚ hail‚ or even fog. The scientific term for acid rain is acid deposition that means when the acid is taken from the air and is deposited on the earth. Major industries‚ coal burning factories‚ power plants and automobile engines are the main sources of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide that cause acid rain. Volcanoes

contribute to eutrophication of surface waters‚ soil acidification‚ fertilization of vegetation‚ changes in ecosystems ‚and smog and decreased visibility in case of major gas . Eutrophication Eutrophication is a result of nutrient pollution (from deposition or run-off) into natural waters (creeks‚ rivers‚ ponds‚ or lakes). Eutrophication generally promotes excessive plant growth and decay‚ favors certain weedy species over others‚ and is likely to cause severe reductions in water quality. In aquatic

habitat and slow water flow‚ thereby enhancing sediment deposition in areas where it is already occurring. The fine‚ anoxic sediments under mangroves act as sinks for a variety of heavy (trace) metals which colloidal particles in the sediments scavenged from the water. Mangrove removal disturbs these underlying sediments‚ often creating problems of trace metal contamination of seawater and biota. Mangroves protect coastal areas from erosion‚ storm surge (especially during hurricanes)‚ and tsunamis
