This book was released on 2020 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Globally, sandy beaches support local economies and are the most commonly-used type of coastline by people (Davis & FitzGerald, 2004; Schlacher et al., 2007), with beaches serving as popular attractions in the U.S. Virgin Islands (USVI) for visitors from around the world. However, high urbanization causes the degradation of coastal resources. Ghost crabs, Ocypode, display predicable responses to anthropogenic impacts, and are popular ecological indicator reflecting the level of ecological stress present in sandy beaches (Barros, 2001; Costa et al., 2019; Costa & Zalmon, 2019; Gül & Griffen, 2019; Peterson et al., 2000). Although St. Thomas, USVI is a popular tourist destination, there are no beach studies in the USVI identifying beach types or the impact of high urbanization from tourism through the use of ghost crabs, to-date. This study characterizes beach types using multiple indices (Beach Index, Beach Deposit Index, Log(1/Beach Slope), and Relative Tide Range) based on physical parameters (beach slope, grain size, and wave height) for eight beaches (Stumpy Bay, Santa Maria Bay, Caret Bay, Neltjeberg Bay, Lindberg Bay, Magens Bay, Coki Point Beach, and Sapphire Beach) on St. Thomas to establish a baseline for beach types on the island. Surveys were conducted during high tourist season from February 3 - March 19, 2020 and low- tourist season from May 18 - June 25, 2020 during early morning hours. Site values for Beach Index, Beach Deposit Index, and Log (1/Beach Slope) were compared using Kruskal- Wallis Rank Sum tests and Dunn Post Hoc tests, and results indicated that all beaches were wave dominated reflective, with slight variations detected best by Log (1/Beach Slope). Additionally, urbanization effects were assessed using a modified Urbanization Index using six different variables (buildings on sand, solid waste, visitor frequency, distance to urban center, beach cleaning, and vehicle traffic) to calculate specific urbanization levels across study sites.
