An experimental study on the evolution of beach profiles under different beach nourishment methods
Frontiers in Marine ScienceDue to the influence of storm surges, hard coastal protection structures may exacerbate beach erosion, hence beach nourishment methods are considered in coastal protection and restoration efforts. An experiment is conducted in a wave flume to compare the

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.Planned harvesting and processing of marine macroalgae could meet future global food needs and mitigate fuel‐originated carbon dioxide responsible for climate change. Microalgal foods are nutritious and safe. The utilization of macroalgae would avoid environmental problems arising from the release of overgrowing macroalgae caused by heatwaves, which ...

Coastal Engineering Proceedings, 1950 The purpose of this paper is to describe the methods by which, and the extent to which the Federal Government participates with local agencies in the control of beach erosion. The Beach Erosion Board of the Corps of Engineers is the instrumentality through which this participation is affected.

Heat, Health and Holidays: Reported Heat Related Adjustments to Australian Tourist Behaviour
International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.This study assessed how climate‐related hazards affect Australian tourists' travel planning. While 80% of tourists report no impact, the 20% who do experience disruption most commonly change their activities, timing, or destination, with heat and rain affecting the same proportion of tourists across beach, city, nature, and family tourism types ...

Extreme Erosion Event on an Artificial Beach
Coastal Engineering 1988, 1988 At Oranjemund just north of the mouth of the Orange on the South-West African/ Namibian coastline the Consolidated Diamond Mines (Pty) Limited (CDM) is mining for diamonds in the inshore area. They use an artificially-built seawall of sand to keep the sea out of the paddocks which are being stripped and mined at bedrock level, which is well below sea ...

Beach and cliff retreat induced by storm groups at Forte Novo,Algarve (Portugal) [PDF]
, 2011 Littoral cell dynamics may change through time as a reaction to modifications of the coastal system. Along the Vilamoura-Quarteira coastline, the construction of a groin field limited the sediment supply to the already narrow Forte Novo beach, located ...

AN ECONOMIC EVALUATION OF BEACH EROSION MANAGEMENT ALTERNATIVES [PDF]
This paper examines the relative economic efficiency of three distinct beach erosion management policies — beach nourishment with shoreline armoring, beach nourishment without armoring, and shoreline retreat. The analysis focuses on (i) the recreational
