Article 1: Coastal erosion and the ban on hard structures In this article it mainly talks about the controversy and problems with coastal erosion and the ban on hard structures. A rule was put into place to help preserve the beaches. People are helping to contribute to the coastline and its problems. Erosion is an easy thing to notice when at the beach. When waves crash they are not crashing in straight lines. Instead they crash horizontally. This is what is causing sand to be having non-stop…

In this report, the recommendation will justify which proposal will be the best option for the Gold Coast and the future management of the Spit. The most beneficial option for the Spit is proposal 1. The conservation of the Spit will be a great asset towards the Gold Coast. The project will benefit the Gold Coast; the plan has many key positive social, economic and environmental aspects that support the Spit while also maximizing the interest of the community. It is important that the Spit will…

movement of sediments, and presence of marine ecosystems. Understanding of coastal process is required to manage while increasing demand humans place on coast. The field trip was conducted in some beaches selected (Sellick beach, Aldingga Beach, Port Noarlungga and Brighton Beach) to present a variety of types of coast, which have variations in the natural processes and human activities occurring along the coastline contribute to the development of different coastal features. This report…

one part of the beach to the other, and replenishment from estuary to the ocean cannot keep up with this so erosion takes place, and rising sea levels cause this to happen quicker. Climate change is linked both indirectly and directly to human activity. This human activity is altering the atmospheric composition, but over comparable periods of time, natural climate change can also be observed. When it comes to the Big Bonanza Coast, climate change can cause severe weather events as well…

Introduction For my research paper I was given the West Berkeley Shellmound. The purpose of this final paper is to explore the issues and concepts covered in the course, Anthropology 2 – Introduction to Archaeology, by considering the limitations and potentials of archaeological research. It is in this paper that I will assess the limitations of data, methods, and theory for the past investigation at the West Berkeley Shellmound and use critical evaluations to construct an alternative research…

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…

so we can better navigate the roles they play in our lives? Looking at borders inside and out we are, in a way, a sort of gatekeeper for all of the borders we experience. Acknowledging our role as gatekeepers brings into focus the choices we, as humans, need to make about what is important versus what is not concerning the various borders in our lives. In the article, “A Very Bordered World,” Alexander Diener and Joshua Hagen explain that we all create these spaces that separate, but they…
