Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beach erosion is a chronic problem along open-ocean shores of the U.S. As coastal populations continue to grow and community infrastructures are threatened by erosion, there is increased demand for accurate info. regarding past and present trends and rates of shoreline movement, and a need for a comprehensive analysis of shoreline movement. This report on states bordering the Gulf of Mexico (Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas) summarizes the methods of analysis, interprets the results, provides explanations regarding the historical and present trends and rates of change, and describes how different coastal communities are responding to coastal erosion in 2004 (prior to Hurricanes Katrina and Rita). Illustrations.

Download or read book Shaping the Shoreline written by Connie Y. Chiang and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2009-11-17 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Monterey coast, home to an acclaimed aquarium and the setting for John Steinbeck's classic novel Cannery Row, was also the stage for a historical junction of industry and tourism. Shaping the Shoreline looks at the ways in which Monterey has formed, and been formed by, the tension between labor and leisure. Connie Y. Chiang examines Monterey's development from a seaside resort into a working-class fishing town and, finally, into a tourist attraction again. Through the subjects of work, recreation, and environment -- the intersections of which are applicable to communities across the United States and abroad -- she documents the struggles and contests over this magnificent coastal region. By tracing Monterey's shift from what was once the literal Cannery Row to an iconic hub that now houses an aquarium in which nature is replicated to attract tourists, the interactions of people with nature continues to change. Drawing on histories of immigration, unionization, and the impact of national and international events, Chiang explores the reciprocal relationship between social and environmental change. By integrating topics such as race, ethnicity, and class into environmental history, Chiang illustrates the idea that work and play are not mutually exclusive endeavors.

Download or read book Mitigating Shore Erosion Along Sheltered Coasts written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2007-05-04 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like ocean beaches, sheltered coastal areas experience land loss from erosion and sea level rise. In response, property owners often install hard structures such as bulkheads as a way to prevent further erosion, but these structures cause changes in the coastal environment that alter landscapes, reduce public access and recreational opportunities, diminish natural habitats, and harm species that depend on these habitats for shelter and food. Mitigating Shore Erosion Along Sheltered Coasts recommends coastal planning efforts and permitting policies to encourage landowners to use erosion control alternatives that help retain the natural features of coastal shorelines.

Download or read book Shoreline Movements written by Craig Hamilton Everts and published by . This book was released on 1983 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shoreline position changes between about 1850 and 1980 along the ocean coastal reach from 12 km west of Cape Henry, Virginia, to 8 km west of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, are documented in this report. In places where the ocean shoreline is on an island or spit, shoreline changes in the sound or bay are also given. Shoreline movement maps at a scale of 1:24,000 constitute the basic data set included in the report. Composite reproductions of these maps are shrinkwrapped separately. In addition, ocean and sound shoreline changes averaged for 1-minute-latitude- (or longitude- ) distance increments are provided. Consistent alongshore trends in the shoreline change rate are evident only from Virginia Beach south to the Virginia-North Carolina border and for about 15 km north of Cape Hatteras. Other areas experienced variable rates of shoreline change. The highest average shoreline change rate, about -2.0 m/year, occurred between 1917 and 1949. From about 1850 to 1917, the shoreline change rate averaged -0.1 m/year, and for the past 30 years it has averaged about -0.8 m/year. (Author).
