management strategies in the area and the impact it has on sediment flows. Once again this drawing is a digital remake of the one drawn in the noting worksheet.  1. Figure 3 (Next Page) provides a clear example of the beach and dune system present at the Tennyson Dunes, the sketch covers from the water’s edge to the back on the tertiary…

has resulted in more residential construction along the coast and the development of sand dunes for 'prime' real estate and recreational purposes. This has had devastating effects on Australia’s coastline including the damaging effects on the sand dunes that protect the inland areas during times of high energy storms. The construction of buildings, including the marina in the stimulus photo, on top of sand dunes has also seen the increase in the rate of erosion and the loss of sand at several…

Unlike Palm Beach, Southport Spit predominately sits on native reserve. The width of Palm Beach and Southport Spit from the water’s edge to fore dune was 37 meters and 40 meters (table 4). The average wave height at Palm Beach and Southport Spit was 0.6 meters. These waves transport, deposit and erode materials such as sediment and sand, dynamically changing the shape of the coastline overtime. Currumbin Creek flows water through to Palm Beach. The word Currumbin is of native origin and means…

sources will be used as they are easier to find. What is a Hooded Plover? The hooded plover has many different names such as, Thinornis Rubicollis, Hooded Dotterel and their genus name used to be Charduis. The Hooded Plovers lives in the sand dunes along the beaches between South Australia and New South wales. Hooded Plovers are highly endangered, having less the 800 birds left in South Australia. The Hooded Plover are more common to show in Spring and summer. They are a medium- sized sandy…

sighted were beaches and sand dunes, as seen in the field work booklet on pages 12 and 13. The sand dune was shaped like a dome and consisted mainly of sand and rock particles and was formed from the process of deposition, which is when constructive waves carry sand and rock particles ashore. The Spit also contains a number of built features to help maintain and conserve the environment such as the seawall and jetty which are considered as hard engineering and sand dune which is soft…

When I was in 6th grade, my class went on a week long field trip to Camp KEEP. Camp KEEP is the best field trip ever! The best things at Camp Keep were the campfires, sand dunes, and river. The campfires at Camp KEEP were really fun. They were at nighttime and we sang songs about nature and other topics. The campfires made the trip the best fieldtrip ever because of the songs we sang and being with friends having fun. At the campfires I laughed harder than I’ve ever laughed before because me…

Technical Strategies • Dune vegetation is needed for stabilize the force in the dynamic nature of large sand dunes, such as at Port Noarlunga beach. Community based management for mitigation of costal hazard and climate change could be an effective solution for dune management. • Larger scale techniques like beach nourishment may have better track records, at least in terms of slowing or delaying…

What is a sand mine? Sand mining is a process that removes sand from an open pit. Where has the sand mine at Cornulla existed? Sand mining in Cronulla existed in Kurnell Peninsula in the government area of Sutherland Shire Sydney New South Wales. When did the sand mine at Cornulla close? Why? Sand Mine at Cronulla was Closed since the 1968 because they were removed to allow more tonnes of sand per year and they supplies the building sand What building development has occurred at Cronulla? The…

The Dunes Club in Myrtle Beach, SC One of the most admired and respected clubs in the southeastern United States, The Dunes Golf & Beach Club, was started by a group of Myrtle Beach dreamers. The first meeting was held on October 29th, 1947, and less than a year later the motivated assembly of peers managed to get a charter from the Secretary of the State of South Carolina. It is still one of the most well-loved places in Myrtle Beach, SC. Robert Trent Jones, one of the world’s greatest…

sometimes they can be very disastrous. They cause three types of coastal changes on our beautiful beaches and they are collision; where the beach dunes are eroded by both waves and the storm surge( the rise in the sea due to pressure changes and wind that comes with a storm), overwash; where the sand is transported towards the land over the beaches and dunes by both the waves and surge and inundation; where the beaches and…
