Episodic, seasonal, and long term morphological changes of Coromandel beaches [PDF]

, 2010
The Coromandel Peninsula was subject to subdivision and development primarily since the 1960's. Much of the development that has occurred now renders protection from the existing beach systems which have typically been altered by development.
