Abstract:

There is a well-worn example—well worn in some circles, anyway—of what you might think of as racist bridges. Robert Moses, the celebrated New York architect, designed unusually low bridges over the roads from Long Island to Jones Beach. The bridges were designed in this way so as to prevent the poor and predominantly black locals from travelling to the beach by bus—the affluent, white car owners can slip under them with ease. The bridges prevent certain members of the community from enjoying the beach as surely as a phalanx of clansmen. Perhaps the strongest moral drawn from the story is the claim that the bridges are political. The objects themselves are imbued with dubious values.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to describe the relationship between parents’ knowledge and attitudes about sunscreen use and their reported sunscreen use behaviors with their children, ages one to twelve, when playing outside and at the pool or beach in a rural and diverse population. Door-to-door surveys were conducted in randomly selected neighborhoods. Knowledge of doctors’ minimum SPF recommendation was found to be significant in how often sunscreen was used outside and at the pool or beach. Knowledge of the sun’s strongest hours was significantly related to how often sunscreen was used with children when at the pool or beach. Knowledge of consequences from a bad sunburn was found to be significant in how often sunscreen is used outside with children. Participants knowing that most of skin damage occurs prior to eighteen years old was significantly related to how often participants use sunscreen with children at the pool or beach. A weak positive correlation was found for seriousness of skin cancer. A weak negative correlation was found for remembering to use sunscreen, for difficulty remembering sunscreen and limited use due to cost. A weak positive correlation was found for increasing use leading to reduced cancer risk. Asians and Caucasians reported the highest sunscreen use. Knowing what knowledge and attitudinal factors lead to sunscreen use with parents is crucial to planning appropriate health education programs. Children are the most vulnerable population to skin damage and it is important that parents know how to properly protect them.

Abstract:

Background: Oil spill chemicals (OSCs) result not only from the crude oil components but also from dispersants used in the clean-up activities, where some may result in adverse health effects under certain exposure and dosage conditions. One of the main populations of concern for exposure to OSCs are children, who are frequent beach users. Activities such as ingestion of and digging in sand can increase dermal and ingestion exposure. Longer times spent at the beach can also increase exposures for all routes. Objectives: The Beach Exposure and Child Health Study (BEaCHeS) was initiated to evaluate the risk of exposure to children from oil contaminants. Reported here are results for surveys collected, as a part of the project, to address exposure-related behavior patterns and risk perception for parents or guardians who visit the beach. Methods: Over 400 parental surveys were collected at four beaches, two in Miami and two in Texas, to evaluate children’s exposure related activities. Surveys consisted of three general sections: demographics, exposure, and risk perception. Surveys were analyzed in REDcap and Stata to evaluate demographic and regional differences on activities related to beach behavior and potential exposures to oil contaminants (e.g., how much time spent on beach, cleaning habits following beach activities). The statistical analysis included the mean and standard errors, along with regressions to evaluate associations between parameters. Results: Overall, the data showed high variability in how children play on the beach, influenced more by age and less by gender. Variations were also seen in certain variables by beach region (e.g., hygiene practices). By race, variations were seen in income, distance of travel to beach, and preferred method of communication for beach warning. Other important findings are reflected in the article. Discussion: The data presented here may prove useful for those evaluating children exposures to a variety of contaminants, chemical, or bacterial in origin. In addition, coastal managers may find the risk perception and general behaviors useful for planning and maintenance of beach areas.

Abstract:

ABSTRACTMicrobial communities within beach sand play a key role in nutrient cycling and are important to the nearshore ecosystem function.Escherichia coliand enterococci, two common indicators of fecal pollution, have been shown to persist in the beach sand, but little is known about how microbial community assemblages are related to these fecal indicator bacteria (FIB) reservoirs. We examined eight beaches across a geographic gradient and range of land use types and characterized the indigenous community structure in the water and the backshore, berm, and submerged sands. FIB were found at similar levels in sand at beaches adjacent to urban, forested, and agricultural land and in both the berm and backshore. However, there were striking differences in the berm and backshore microbial communities, even within the same beach, reflecting the very different environmental conditions in these beach zones in which FIB can survive. In contrast, the microbial communities in a particular beach zone were similar among beaches, including at beaches on opposite shores of Lake Michigan. The differences in the microbial communities that did exist within a beach zone correlated to nutrient levels, which varied among geographic locations. Total organic carbon and total phosphorus were higher in Wisconsin beach sand than in beach sand from Michigan. Within predominate genera, fine-scale sequence differences could be found that distinguished the populations from the two states, suggesting a biogeographic effect. This work demonstrates that microbial communities are reflective of environmental conditions at freshwater beaches and are able to provide useful information regarding long-term anthropogenic stress.

Abstract:

Recreational use of beaches may threaten some beach-nesting shorebirds in southern Australia. Temporary Beach Closures, comprized of a 50 x 25 m exclusion zone around a shorebird nest, represent a promising technique for altering human behaviour by reducing both disturbance to birds and inadvertent crushing of eggs by beach visitors. We assessed whether three commonly employed configurations of Temporary Beach Closures (sign, fence, and warden) were effective at: (1) achieving compliance among beach visitors, and (2) reducing egg-crushing rates. Overall, 93.7% of beach visitors complied with all Temporary Beach Closures, resulting in a reduction in egg-crushing rates within, as opposed to adjacent to, Temporary Beach Closures. Levels of compliance were high in all Temporary Beach Closure configurations (88.0–99.4%), and similar levels of compliance were achieved within the three configurations. Human compliance was highest for females and when the density of beach-users was higher, while individuals aged <20 and >61 years were less likely to comply with Temporary Beach Closures. Despite an increased probability of compliance on high density beaches, this did not translate into a reduction in egg crushing rates on such beaches, because the overall number of noncompliant individuals remained higher. We conclude any Temporary Beach Closure configuration is meritorious, and that their use on high and low-use recreational beaches will benefit breeding shorebirds by reducing the rate of egg-crushing. Targeting demographics that display lower levels of compliance, such as men, young people (i.e. <21), and older people (i.e. >60), may further improve the effectiveness of Temporary Beach Closures in enhancing the conservation of shorebirds.

Abstract:

Abstract The west beach coastal area of Banten province is very productive. Local governments use this area for various development activities, tourism in particular. This study aims to determine the tourism potential of the west coast of Banten Province based on the spatial pattern of land use by local regulations. Thus, the development of coastal tourism can develop in an integrated and sustainable manner. The research methodology used is literature study, interviews, field verification, spatial analysis (Arc-GIS), and policy analysis based on the Banten Province Spatial Plan. Based on policy analysis related to regional spatial planning in Banten Province, there are three strategic tourism areas on the west coast, including; (a) Sumur Beach corridor, (b) Pandeglang West Coast corridor (Carita-Cigeulis), and (c) Serang West Coast Corridor (Anyer-Cinangka). The West Coast Corridor of The criteria for the physical type of beach suitable for tourism activities is wide beaches, not rocky, freshwater, and far from the highway. The west coast corridor area these criteria is the Serang West Coast Corridor (Anyer - Cinangka), precisely at Anyer Beach and Anyer Kidul Beach.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Bench-scale biodegradability studies of the Alaskan weathered crude oil were undertaken as part of the bioremediation project for the shorelines of Prince William Sound Alaska, contaminated by the Exxon Valdez oil spill. The purpose of the studies was to evaluate the ability of the indigenous microbial consortium of the seawater and island beach areas to biodegrade the weathered crude oil's alkane hydrocarbon and polynuclear aromatic (PAH) constituents in batch-type respirometric reactors and shaker flask systems. Biodegradation studies used Inipol EAP22 and water-soluble nitrogen and phosphorus-containing solution (OECD) as the fertilizer nutrient source. In the respirometric studies, the unpolluted beach material in seawater was spiked with 1,000, 300, and 100 mg/L of weathered crude oil and with Inipol at 5 percent of oil weight or with OECD stock solution concentrates. The contents were brought up to 1,000 mL with seawter. Unpolluted beach material spiked with 10,000, 3,000, and 1,000 mg/L of weathered crude oil and with either Inipol at 5 percent of oil weight or with OECD inorganic salts in 1,000 mL of seawater were used in shaker flask microcosm studies. Temperature of incubation in both studies was 15° C, and culture systems were incubated in darkness. Cumulative oxygen uptake data, growth data, and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry analysis data demonstrate almost complete utilization of the alkane hydrocarbon constituents in the presence of Inipol fertilizer and OECD synthetic medium, and significant biodegradation of the PAH constituents after six weeks of incubation. Control experiments without Inipol or OECD nutrients demonstrated absence of biodegradative activity.

Abstract:

The understanding of the different conditions that shape the recreational use of sandy beaches is key for their management. This article explores visitors' and residents' recreational use of four sandy beaches in Ecuador in relation to the physical and socioeconomic context in which this use takes place, including beach morphodynamics, level of urban development, as well as the type and quality of tourism services available. Results show that visitors and residents use the beach for the same recreational activities (i.e., walking and swimming) on beaches with different morphologies and socioeconomic conditions. However, respondents also indicated that physical characteristics (e.g., beach size and swell) are important aspects for choosing a beach. Visitors to rural beaches are more likely to consume informal catering services located within the beach area than formal ones located outside. This particular emerging theme should be taken into consideration for further research on management initiatives in the context of developing countries.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT A major part of the natural resource damages settlement received by the trustees for the Morris J. Berman oil spill incident was for the loss of public beach use and for diminished quality visits to the San Juan National Historic Site. This part of the settlement was based on the compensatory restoration needed to offset the lost uses. The trustees determined the restoration for the beach use and Historic Site use losses by estimating the dollar value of the lost services and then selecting the scale of restoration that has a cost equivalent to the lost value. The trustees assessed the value losses associated with the lost beach visits and the diminished value of visits to the Historic Site using a benefits transfer methodology. The trustees quantified the number of lost beach visits and the number of impacted Historic Site visits by using attendance information; they then quantified the value loss associated with each type of affected trip by applying a value per affected trip from an appropriate literature study. Value losses totaled $2.3 million and $1.5 million for the beach use and Historic Site use impacts, respectively. The funds obtained in the settlement for these losses will provide replacement resources and services to beach-goers and Historic Site visitors.

Abstract:

Nearshore beach morphology is of interest to coastal managers due to the strong influence it exerts on subaerial beach erosion, pollutant dispersal, and recreational safety. In particular, wave breaking conditions and nearshore hydrodynamics are highly dependent on sandbar configuration. The term 'beach state' describes specific planform configurations of nearshore morphology that are in dynamic equilibrium with the time-varying forcing conditions. Beach state categories were first introduced by Wright and Short (1984), who observed sandbar systems in Narrabeen-Collaroy, Australia and extended by Lippman and Holman (1990), based on observations of time-exposure Argus imagery of sandbar systems in at Duck, NC, USA. In this study, we use machine learning algorithms to identify beach states from Argus imagery at two distinct sites: Narrabeen-Collaroy (hereafter Narrabeen), SE Australia, and Duck, NC. We assess the ability of the algorithm to classify beach states at each site and its transferability from one beach to another. Additionally, we investigate the extent to which the spatial and temporal evolution of beach states influences the ability of the algorithm to classify images into discrete beach states.Recorded Presentation from the vICCE (YouTube Link): https://youtu.be/38OM8CseIww

Abstract:

Foraging behaviors of bottlenose dolphins vary within and among populations, but few studies attempt to address the causes of individual variation in foraging behavior. We examined how ecological, social, and developmental factors relate to the use of a rare foraging tactic by wild bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops sp. Gervais, 1855) in Shark Bay, Western Australia. Beach hunting involves partial and nearly complete stranding on beach shores. Over 10 years of observation, only four adults and their calves were observed beach hunting in more than 1 year. Of two adult beach hunters observed in detail, one was more specialized in beach hunting than the other, indicating substantial flexibility in degree of use. Only calves born to beach hunters developed the tactic, although complete stranding was not observed at least up to 5 years of age. Beach hunters used shallow, inshore habitats significantly more than others and were more likely to hunt during incoming tide. Mitochondrial DNA haplotypes were not consistent with strict matrilineal transmission. Thus, beach hunting likely involves vertical social learning by calves, while individual, horizontal, and (or) oblique learning may occur among individuals who frequent coastal habitats.

Abstract:

Utilizing R software and a variety of data sources, daily forecasts of bacteria levels were developed and automated for beach waters in Myrtle Beach, SC. Modeled results are then shown for beach locations via a website and mobile device app. While R provides a robust set of tools for use in forecast modeling, the software has an extensive learning curve and requires skilled statistical interpretation of results. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) created the “Virtual Beach” software package to address these concerns. To evaluate the utility of the more user-friendly Virtual Beach modeling toolbox, predictive models were developed and model results were analyzed using the two software suites. Recommendations were made based on ease of use and several performance measures. Model results indicate the two software toolboxes yield comparable outputs. However, Virtual Beach tends to create more robust model forecasts, while R provides more options for model setup and outputs.

Abstract:

The coastal zone provides foraging opportunities for insular populations of terrestrial mammals, allowing for expanded habitat use, increased dietary breadth, and locally higher population densities. We examined the use of sandy beach resources by the threatened island fox (Urocyon littoralis) on the California Channel Islands using scat analysis, surveys of potential prey, beach habitat attributes, and stable isotope analysis. Consumption of beach invertebrates, primarily intertidal talitrid amphipods (Megalorchestia spp.) by island fox varied with abundance of these prey across sites. Distance-based linear modeling revealed that abundance of giant kelp (Macrocystis pyrifera) wrack, rather than beach physical attributes, explained the largest amount of variation in talitrid amphipod abundance and biomass across beaches. δ13C and δ15N values of fox whisker (vibrissae) segments suggested individualism in diet, with generally low δ13C and δ15N values of some foxes consistent with specializing on primarily terrestrial foods, contrasting with the higher isotope values of other individuals that suggested a sustained use of sandy beach resources, the importance of which varied over time. Abundant allochthonous marine resources on beaches, including inputs of giant kelp, may expand habitat use and diet breadth of the island fox, increasing population resilience during declines in terrestrial resources associated with climate variability and long-term climate change.

Abstract:

Beach nourishment is a common strategy for erosion mitigation that also increases coastal resilience to storm impacts, provides habitat, and supports the economy. Regulations often require that placed sediment closely match the native grain size distribution and composition, however characteristics can vary based on the borrow site. Certain sediment properties will also influence beach slope and other critical beach functions. This study evaluates the 3-dimensional sediment properties and beach morphology of nourished and non-nourished barrier island beaches in northern Palm Beach County, Florida, USA. Surveyed beach profiles were compared with predicted slope based on median grain size. The inlet-adjacent beach managed with annual placement of beneficial use of dredged materials consisted of poorly sorted coarse sand and the steepest measured slope. Sediment was progressively finer and better sorted downdrift with decreasing foreshore slopes. Although sediment near the shoreline is typically the coarsest, clasts were finer than the mid-beach location suggesting that the sampling period coincided with beach recovery and onshore sediment transport of finer material. Sediment at the surface differed from sediment at depth, likely due to the frequent introduction of sediment from various borrow areas compared to the dominance of weathered coquina at depth. The non-carbonate, siliciclastic fraction was primary quartz with few other minerals. The estimated beach slope at the location with the coarsest sediment matched the measured slope. A lower beach slope was predicted for the other locations with finer grain sizes at the shoreline that was attributed to slightly steeper slopes associated with beach accretion. Therefore, complicated spatio-temporal morphodynamics of beaches should be considered when using median grain size from only one sampling event.

Abstract:

IntroductionCommunities are seeking to learn if and how they can improve the well-being of their residents. We therefore examined the impact of a community-led, collective-impact initiative, deployed through Blue Zones Project by Sharecare, aimed at improving health and well-being in one set of US communities.MethodsWe used data from cross-sectional surveys of the Well-Being Index (2010–2017) to assess how the Life Evaluation Index (LEI) in Hermosa Beach, Manhattan Beach and Redondo Beach in California (Beach Cities) changed over time and how this change compares with change for similar cities (Beach Cities-like) and for the USA as a whole. We examined types of interventions, perceived impacts, and relationships between intervention type and change in LEI.ResultsThe Beach Cities experienced greater increases in LEI than Beach Cities-like communities and the nation. The entire portfolio of interventions was positively associated with change in LEI in the Beach Cities (+1.12, p=0.012), with process-oriented interventions most closely associated with improvement.ConclusionsCommunity-led collective action that leverages community engagement and activation, strategic use of programming and large-scale built-environment and policy change can improve health and well-being at scale.

This thought-provoking piece by philosopher Colin McGinn is an unusual in that it is not, strictly speaking, a work of philosophy. It is, rather, a true story – a story that raises some important philosophical questions. It is the kind of story that those who use philosophy in the classroom often present as a catalyst for discussion. It is in the same spirit that I offer it here. Some sample questions are included at the end.

Abstract:

Natural beach is controlled by many factors related to wave and tidal forces, wind, sediment, and initial topography. For this reason, if numerous topographic data of beach is accurately collected, coastal erosion/acceleration is able to be assessed and clarified. Generally, however, many studies on coastal erosion have limitation to analyse the whole beach, carried out of partial area as like shoreline (horizontal 2D) and beach profile (vertical 2D) on account of limitation of numerical simulation. This is an important application for prevention of coastal erosion, and UAV photogrammetry is also used to 3D topographic data. This paper analyses the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) to 3D map and beach volume change. UAV (Quadcopter) equipped with a non-metric camera was used to acquire images in Songjung beach which is located south-east Korea peninsula. The dynamics of beach topography, its geometric properties and estimates of eroded and deposited sand volumes were determined by combining elevation data with quarterly RTK-VRS measurements. To explore the new possibilities for assessment of coastal change we have developed a methodology for 3D analysis of coastal topography evolution based on existing high resolution elevation data combined with low coast, UAV and on-ground RTK-VRS surveys. DSMs were obtained by stereo-matching using Agisoft Photoscan. Using GCPs the vertical accuracy of the DSMs was found to be 10 cm or better. The resulting datasets were integrated in a local coordinates and the method proved to be a very useful fool for the detection of areas where coastal erosion occurs and for the quantification of beach change. The value of such analysis is illustrated by applications to coastal of South Korea sites that face significant management challenges.

Abstract:

There is a growing need for instruments to control and reduce the impacts of the increasing number of tourists visiting protected natural areas. Among these economic instruments, the use of access fees can have positive effects on enhancing environmental sustainability by reducing the number of visitors. Access fees are also a source of financing the management costs of a protected area. Among the negative impacts of tourism, users of beaches perceive congestion as a factor in reducing the final value of the touristic experience. This article analyses the perception of locals of an access fee to enter the small Canary island of Lobos, a protected natural area with high quality beaches, whose quietness is endangered by an increasing number of visitors, clearly exceeding the current carrying capacity. We approached the problem using different tools: firstly, we looked at visitors’ opinions on the website TripAdvisor to identify whether congestion is perceived as a problem; secondly, we carried out an opinion survey using Likert-type scale questions to capture opinions about crowding and pricing; and finally, we used a discrete choice experiment to estimate the willingness to pay (WTP) for accessing the island and reducing congestion. The results reveal a high degree of perception of congestion and the potential of an entrance fee as an effective tool in reducing that congestion and thus generating resources to cover the maintenance costs of the protected area.

Abstract:

AbstractThis study evaluates how key beach features influence suitability for nesting by Endangered loggerhead marine turtles Caretta caretta at an internationally important rookery on Zakynthos Island, Greece. During 2007–2009 we assimilated information on beach structure (elevation above sea level and width), the distribution of all nesting (turtle tracks that resulted in nests) and non-nesting (turtle tracks that did not result in nests) turtle emergences from the sea along 6 km of beach, nest placement parameters (distance from sea and elevation above sea level), and beach use by visitors. We found that turtles preferentially emerged on steeper sections of beach, with higher nesting densities occurring on the most environmentally stable beaches. Elevation was a more reliable indicator of nest placement (1 m above sea level) than distance to shore. However, because nests on steeper slopes are located closer to shore, the risk of damage by tourism is increased in such areas. We calculated a potential 36% overlap of natural nest locations with use of the beach by tourists; however, the recorded overlap was 7% because of existing management protocols. This overlap could be further reduced by focusing conservation effort (i.e. further restricting use by people) on beach sections with the steepest inclines. For example, slopes of > 22° comprise 1 km of total beach area annually, the closure of which (above the immediate shoreline to allow passage) would completely protect 50% of nests. This study shows the value of evidence-based management as a practical scientific tool to conserve threatened species in dynamic protected areas that are of both environmental and economic importance.

Abstract:

The use of plastic material has increased significantly because of its durability and resistance from degradation. Plastic wastes could degrade into smaller size known as microplastics. The purposes of this study are to analyze and to compare total abundance of microplastic among coastal beaches in Badung, Bali. This study was conducted at five different coastal beaches which are Doublesix Beach, Kuta Beach, Melasti Beach, Mengiat Beach, and Tanjung Benoa Beach. Microplastic abundance was found in the average of 90.7±59.1 particles kg-1. There are three types of microplastic found in this study; film, fiber, and fragment and the abundances were varied among beaches. Fiber dominated all the study areas in the average of 42.8±24.1 particle kg-1. Kuta Beach has the highest amount of microplastic compared to the other beaches with the average of 148.9±103.8 particles kg-1. It might be due to Kuta Beach is the very famous beach visited by many tourists in the Bali Island. Moreover, this study was conducted during monsoon season that has been know to bring plastic wastes to Kuta Beach.

Abstract:

We used radio-tracking to investigate movement patterns and habitat use of Fowler’s Toads (Anaxyrus fowleri) during late summer and early fall in a relatively undisturbed lakeshore dune and beach habitat at Long Point, Ontario. Small radio transmitters were fitted to 11 adult toads with an external harness made from fine surgical plastic tubing wrapped around the body behind the front limbs. We located radio-tagged toads morning and evening, for a maximum of 9 days, recording their locations using Global Positioning System units. Initially, the toads were located on the upper beach or in the fore-dunes during the day, either dug in under the sand or hiding beneath debris; in the evening, they were generally active on the lower beach close to the water line. After a storm and the onset of cooler autumn weather, the toads tended to move further from the water line. They also curtailed their nightly activity and retreated deeper into the sand. As this sort of behaviour was not observed during the summer, we interpret it as pre-hibernation movement to more stable sites away from the beach where the animals can burrow deeply into the sand to lie dormant during the winter.

Herbert Simon once observed that watching an ant make its way across the uneven surface of a beach, one can easily be impressed—too impressed—with the foresight and complexity of the ant's internal map of the beach. Simon went on to point out that such an attribution of complexity to the ant makes a serious mistake. Most of the complexity is not in the ant but in the beach. The ant is just complex enough to use the features of the beach to find its way.

Full text

Abstract:

Capelin (Mallotus villosus (Müller, 1776)), a focal forage fish in the north Atlantic, spawn on both beach and demersal (deep-water) sites throughout their circumpolar distribution. Although these habitats rarely occur in close proximity, demersal spawning sites within 4 km of beach spawning sites (subtidal) have recently been discovered in two coastal embayments in Newfoundland, Canada. The physical environment differs considerably between beach and subtidal spawning sites, creating the potential for local adaptation and genetic divergence of capelin from the two habitats, but this has never been investigated on a fine spatial scale. We use eight microsatellite loci to test for genetic divergence between capelin spawning at beach and subtidal sites within these two coastal regions in Newfoundland. We found no genetic differentiation between fish spawning at beach and subtidal sites or between the two regions. The results from this fine-scale study are in agreement with the lack of habitat-based structure reported in other studies examining beach and demersal sites separated by a larger geographic area. We suggest that instead of showing site fidelity and local adaptation, the facultative use of alternate spawning habitats may be a more successful strategy in an unpredictable environment.

Kawal Beach and Pengudang Beach are sandy beaches located in Bintan Regency, Kepualauan Riau Province. The two beaches have almost similar activities, is there are fishermen settlements. The difference is that Kawal Beach is located around beach tourism activities, while Pengudang Beach has no beach tourism activities. The purpose of this study was to understand how diversity and abundance gastropods in Kawal and Pengudang beach, then the similarity-based Bray-Curtis similarity in both locations. The method of determining the research location at Kawal Beach and Pengudang Beach is purposive sampling. The gastropod samples were collecting use transect with a quadrat of 1 m2 at the lowest tide zone along 100 meters toward the sea. They were taken by hand then put into a labeled zip lock plastic. Samples were then identified, documented and their diversity and abundance were calculated. A total of 42 species of gastropods were identified belonging to 15 families with an abundance index 3433 ind/m2 for Kawal Beach and 1564 ind/m2 for Pengudang Beach. Diversity of gastropods species are (H’) 1,83; (E) 0,5; and (C) 0,3 for Kawal Beach, (H’) 2,55; (E) 0,7; and (C) 0,1 for Pengudang Beach. Bray-Curtis similarity shown is PK1-PP1=0,33; PK2-PP2 = 0,34; and PK3-PP3 = 0,15. This study is important in providing information on gastropods that live in the Kawal dan Pengudang beach. For future research should focus on temporal research in more depth to provide knowledge of gastropods communities and their ecological importance.

Abstract:

Dungeness is a cuspate foreland on the south coast of England that is the largest shingle feature in Europe and includes hundreds of beach ridges. It is also the location of two nuclear power stations that were constructed in the 1960s. The dominant southwest waves cause longshore drift from west to east, eroding the southwest side of Dungeness, accompanied by accretion on the east side. A record of this eastward movement and sediment accretion is preserved by the shingle beach ridges. The power stations are located on the eroding southwestern side of the ness, and a system of beach recharge has been used to move shingle from the downdrift, east-facing shore to the updrift, southwest-facing shore to protect the power stations from coastal erosion. We use a novel combination of historic images, ground-penetrating radar (GPR), and Lidar (HIGL) to investigate accretion and beach ridges at Dungeness during the past 80 years. We report changes in accretion along the coast and use GPR to determine the thickness of beach gravels. The amount of accretion, represented by the width of the backshore, decreases downdrift from south to north. The number of beach ridges preserved also decreases from south to north. By combining the shingle thickness from GPR with elevation data from Lidar surveys and records of beach accretion measured from aerial images, we estimate the volume and mass of gravel that has accumulated at Dungeness. Historic rates of beach accretion are similar to recent rates, suggesting that the 55 years of beach recharge have had little impact on the longer-term accretion downdrift.

Abstract:

The world’s coastlines are shaped by mean sea level, wave conditions and storm surge. Climate change driven variations in these environmental forcing’s will inevitably have a profound effect on the coastal zone. They will result in unprecedented coastal recession, threatening billions of dollars worth of coastal developments and infrastructure. Coastal erosion is observed in some locations along Atlantic alluvial plain (Kenitra coastal (Morocco)) and is an important factor to consider for the coastal zone management. Therefore, for coastal recession estimates are obtained via the simple, deterministic method (Bruun rule) especially, that has been widely used over the last 50 years. It is in widespread contemporary use at a global scale both as a management tool and as a scientific concept. We investigated the potential erosion at the site and the result was very important. The result shows a severe erosion of the 21st century.

Abstract:

Penerapan new normal di Bali juga berimbas pada sector pariwisata, dengan adanya Surat Edaran Gubernur Nomor 15 Tahun 2021 Tentang Pemberlakuan Pembatasan Kegiatan Masyarakat (PPKM) Corona Virus Disease 2019 dalam tatanan kehidupan era baru di Provinsi Bali, objek wisata di Bali termasuk pantai mulai dibuka dengan kapasitas pengunjung 50% dan menerapkan protocol kesehatan yang ketat. Penggunaan masker merupakan bagian dari protocol kesehatan yang wajib digunakan dalam masa Pandemi COVID-19. Pandemi COVID-19 memberikan masalah baru bagi lingkungan terbukti dengan banyak ditemukannya masker, baik masker medis (single use) maupun masker non medis di tempat umum. Penemuan masker yang dibuang di sembarang tempat, terutama di daerah wisata pantai merupakan hal yang biasa kita temui akhir-akhir ini. Hal ini memiliki dampak negatif bagi lingkungan pesisir pantai dalam jangka panjang. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui hubungan pengetahuan dan perilaku pengunjung pantai dalam membuang sampah masker di pantai yang ada di wilayah Bali Selatan. Tempat penelitian adalah di objek wisata pantai di daerah Bali Selatan antara lain Pantai Biaung, Pantai mertasari, Pantai Matahari Terbit, Pantai Karang, Pantai Sindhu, Pantai Segara Ayu, Pantai Kuta, Pantai Jerman, Pantai Cemongkak, Pantai Dreamland dan Pantai Balangan. Penelitian ini menggunakan rancangan cross sectional study dengan sampel berjumlah 400 orang. Data dianalisis menggunakan analisis univariat dan analisis bivariat dengan uji statistik Somers’d. Penelitian menemukan bahwa para pengunjung pantai memiliki tingkat pengetahuan cukup baik (45 %) dalam memahami dampak pembuangan sampah masker terhadap pariwisata pantai dan sebanyak 35% pengunjung berperilaku baik dalam membuang sampah masker di pantai. Analisis bivariate menunjukkan hubungan yang sangat signifikan antara tingkat pengetahuan pengunjung pantai dengan perilaku membuang sampah masker di objek wisata pantai di wilayah Bali SelatanABSTRACTThe implementation of the new normal in Bali also has an impact on the tourism sector, with the Governor's Circular Letter Number 15 of 2021 concerning the Implementation of the Corona Virus Disease 2019 Community Activity Restrictions (PPKM) in the new era of life in the Bali Province, tourist attractions in Bali including beaches began to open with 50% visitor capacity and implement strict health protocols. The use of masks is part of the health protocol that must be used during the COVID-19 pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has created new problems for the environment as evidenced by the discovery of many masks, both medical masks (single use) and non-medical masks in public places. The discovery of masks that are thrown away everywhere, especially in coastal tourist areas is something that we usually encounter these days. This has a negative impact on the coastal environment in the long run. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between knowledge and behavior of beach visitors in disposing of mask waste on beaches in the South Bali region. The research sites are in beach attractions in the South Bali area, including Biaung Beach, Mertasari Beach, Sunrise Beach, Karang Beach, Sindhu Beach, Segara Ayu Beach, Kuta Beach, German Beach, Cemongkak Beach, Dreamland Beach and Balangan Beach. This study used a cross sectional study design with a sample of 400 people. Data were analyzed using univariate analysis and bivariate analysis with Somers'd statistical test. The study found that beach visitors had a fairly good level of knowledge (45%) in understanding the impact of mask waste disposal on beach tourism and as many as 35% of visitors behaved well in disposing of mask waste on the beach. Bivariate analysis shows a very significant relationship between the knowledge level of beach visitors and the behavior of disposing of mask waste at beach attractions in the South Bali region.

The historical background of the use of natural balances of the coastal territory for mass use is considered. The beach areas of Sochi city are part of the coastal strip. The organization of natural beaches was associated with the removal of natural rocks into the sea from the mouths of rivers such as Sochi, Bytkha, Vereshchaginka, Khosta, Mzymta, and others. The creation of artificial natural beaches and the increase in their number is associated with the use of engineering structures in the Soviet period since the 1930s. The study of the formation of beaches on the Black Sea coast allowed the students of Sochi State University to competently organize methods for designing beach areas in such areas of the city as Dagomys, Central District, Khosta District. The projects were carried out by students and were focused on releasing the area of beach areas from unauthorized buildings; an arrangement of areas available for modernization by introducing new planning solutions. Reference objects in the form of buildings in the coastal zone are proposed. The forms of modernization of embankments with beach areas in student projects depend on the resolution of problematic issues for each site separately

Abstract:

Image analysis of the Yellow River beach area since 1987 provided land use and water body patterns to support effective agricultural and environmental management. Landsat and Sentinel-2A/B images, and data from the Third National Land Survey, were used to examine the water body and land use patterns. The continuous beach land since 1987 was calculated from annual vegetation and water body indexes while that of cultivated land was extracted from the Third National Land Survey. Object-Oriented Feature Extraction was used to extract staple crops. The results showed that 58.26% of the beach area was cultivated land. Continuous beach land covered an area of 1630.98 km2 and was consisted of scattered patches that were unevenly distributed between the north and south banks of the Yellow River. The staple crop types in the beach area, winter wheat and summer corn accounted for 72.37% and 68.03% of the total cultivated land. Affected by the strategy on the Yellow River basin in China, as the ecological space and protection continue to increase, this study provides basic scientific references for the correct use of cultivated land resources and protection of the balance of soil and water resources dynamic utilization and balance of cultivated land protection and ecological protection.
