Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This series of ten booklets focuses on selected islands in the Eastern Caribbean and represents the dedicated work over the last ten years of government agencies, non-governmental organisations, teachers, students and individuals. They have carefully measured in a scientific manner the changes in their beaches as beach erosion is widespread through out the Eastern Caribbean. Thus the main reason for this monitoring was the protecting of the Caribbean's most valuable assets - its beaches.

Download or read book Encyclopedia of the World s Coastal Landforms written by Eric Bird and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-02-25 with total page 1530 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This unique richly-illustrated account of the landforms and geology of the world’s coasts, presented in a country-by-country (state-by-state) sequence, assembles a vast amount of data and images of an endangered and increasingly populated and developed landform. An international panel of 138 coastal experts provides information on “what is where” on each sector of coast, together with explanations of the landforms, their evolution and the changes taking place on them. As well as providing details on the coastal features of each country (state or county) the compendium can be used to determine the extent of particular features along the world’s coasts and to investigate comparisons and contrasts between various world regions. With more than 1440 color illustrations and photos, it is particularly useful as a source of information prior to researching or just visiting a sector of coast. References are provided to the current literature on coastal evolution and coastline changes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coastal communities are at the frontline of a changing climate. Escalating problems created by sea-level rise, a greater number of severe coastal storms, and other repercussions of climate change will exacerbate already pervasive impacts resulting from rapid coastal population growth and intensification of development. To prosper in the coming deca
Download or read book Marine Tourism Climate Change and Resilience in the Caribbean Volume II written by Kreg Ettenger and published by Business Expert Press. This book was released on 2017-11-21 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the nations of the Caribbean respond to the emerging effects of climate change and prepare for those to come, tourism has the potential to either worsen or mitigate these impacts. In this book we look specifically at marine recreation and how its various sectors—ranging from surfing, diving and sport fishing, to yachting and cruise ships—are coping with and preparing for climate change in the Caribbean. Through essays and case studies by scientists, business leaders, government and NGO staff, and others, we show that tourism could lead the way in reducing human-induced climate impacts, protecting and restoring crucial ecosystems and habitats, and building sustainable futures for the people of the Caribbean and beyond.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: World Seas: An Environmental Evaluation, Second Edition, Volume One: Europe, The Americas and West Africa provides a comprehensive review of the environmental condition of the seas of Europe, the Americas and West Africa. Each chapter is written by experts in the field who provide historical overviews in environmental terms, current environmental status, major problems arising from human use, informed comments on major trends, problems and successes, and recommendations for the future. The book is an invaluable worldwide reference source for students and researchers who are concerned with marine environmental science, fisheries, oceanography and engineering and coastal zone development. Covers regional issues that help countries find solutions to environmental decline that may have already developed elsewhere Provides scientific reviews of regional issues, thus empowering managers and policymakers to make progress in under-resourced countries and regions Includes comprehensive maps and updated statistics in each region covered
Download or read book Saving America s Beaches written by Scott L. Douglass and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2002 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book tells you where beach sand comes from, how waves are formed and how they break and move sand down the coast, how ?works of man? have blocked this movement and caused beach erosion, and what can be done to save the beaches for future generations of Americans. A three-part prescription for healthy beaches is proposed: ?backing off?, ?bypassing sand?, and ?beach nourishment?. So if you love waves and beaches, and care about the future of your favorite beach spot, then read this book while you enjoy the beach.

Download or read book Numerical Modeling of Storm Induced Beach Erosion written by and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 8 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beaches erode and accrete in response to varying waves and water levels in the nearshore zone. During storms, catastrophic beach and dune erosion can occur in a matter of hours, resulting in significant shoreline recession and damage to property and upland resources. Consequently, protection of upland infrastructure against storm erosion, flooding, and wave attack is a primary concern in the field of coastal engineering. Effective design of shore protection measures requires an understanding of and the capability to predict sediment transport processes that control beach response to storms. Numerical modeling of beach evolution is a powerful technique that can be applied to assist in project design. Numerical models provide a framework for predicting project response, objectively evaluating the effectiveness of design alternatives, and analyzing data to develop an understanding of coastal processes. The Storm- induced BEAch CHange (SBEACH) numerical model has been developed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers as an engineering tool for simulating beach profile evolution in response to storms.
