In this report, the evaluation will assess the negative and positive impacts of proposal 1 and 2, to help determine which of the proposals will benefit the Gold Coast community. The key negative and key positive points of the social, economic and environmental will be evaluated. Proposal 1 is the extension of Moreton Bay Marine Park to include protection of The Spit and Broadwater as park and conservation zone. The conservation of the Spit will support the local community and tourism as people…

Spreading along the east and gulf coast of the United States of America are unique geologic formations known as barrier islands. Not only are these landforms neat to visit, but also they have the important role of protecting the coastline by reducing the effects storm winds and waves can have. Barrier Islands, like Assateague Island, can form in different ways, but all are constantly undergoing changes from various factors. The focus of this paper will be how barrier islands form and move, these…

class are raised (pg.63). Even though I endure a heavy workload, it’s with optimism to succeed in the future. Despite taking on the risk of university debt and not succeeding, I still stay motivated with an end goal in mind. Therefore, using a social economic status perspective, the hard work I put in now will benefit me in the future allowing me to succeed. As a result, using a socioeconomic status, living in a developed country where opportunity is always present the average citizen has a…

What’s difference between being alone and feeling lonely? Some say loneliness is the unhappiness that is often felt when they do not have friends or no one to turn to; some say loneliness is an emotion, but being alone can be a choice. Being to many places usually out of everyone’s travel plan, Pico Iyer finds that we often feel lonely when we are in a crowd, but not part of the it. In his work, “Lonely Places,” Pico Iyer depicts a unique outlook of several “lonely places” where are…

business. (Forces) One benefit of the people movement is that many developed countries attracted more immigrants than other undeveloped countries. Additional incentives while attracting people and new and growing will follow then businesses was the with economic in the areas of wages and labor demands, as well as the political and…

in Cronulla, New South Wales, Australia. The Wall is the native name given to the area between North Cronulla Beach and Elouera. In geography lessons, year 10 have been learning about coastal management. We have gone through topics such as coastal landforms, transportation processes, and processes of coastal erosion so we went to Cronulla Beach to carry out some fieldwork activities…

Video 1 – costal erosion Boiol242 Week 3 Sandy beaches are a dynamic system that naturally experiences phases of erosion and accretion. Storm systems producing high energy waves that can rapidly erode sediments, particularly when infrequent or intense. During calmer periods, average swell waves deliver sediment back to the shoreline (beach accretion). Beach accretion is a much slower process than erosion whereby it’d take severl years for a beach to return to its pre – storm condition…

History of White’s Beach site – what did it look like previously? Point Impossible has 10m high dunes and is boarded at the mouth of Thompson Creek. The road from Torqay goes to that point and at the end is a car park. Point Impossible Beach is in front of the car park and creates a western boundary to Thompson Creek. The shore and road is 4.5km long to Whites beach, with car parks and access to the dune. The eastern part of the beach is official Optional Dress (nude) Beach. The beach is…

Erosion is the geological process in which Earth's surface is worn down by natural forces like running water, wind, glaciers and waves. Erosion is a key factor in the formation of beaches because erosion moves sediment (sand) from one location to another. There are three major types of coastal erosion; hydraulic action, corrosion and corrosion. Hydraulic action is when waves crashing against a headland causes erosion. Waves enter cracks in the rock and air is compressed into the crack by the…

Coastal Erosion in Hawaii Introduction: Coastal Erosion is a natural process along the worlds coastlines that occurs through the actions of currents and waves and results in the loss of sediment in some places and accretion in other places. (center for ocean solutions n.d.) Hawaii is one of the most eroded places in the world along the coast. Hawaii is located 4165km West of California and the mainland. (Map of Hawaii. 2014) The two main islands that are been worked on the most for…
