Coastal management involves developing strategies that are designed to protect and preserve the coastal environment. The actions of humans have altered the operation of the natural coastal processes. During our fieldwork we have learned the key issues of coastal management and their strategies and the way they address them at Cronulla Beach. The three key geographical processes that shape the coastal environment are erosion‚ transportation and deposition. The key issues relating to coastal management

Needle stick injuries are one of the most frequent occupational hazards faced by nurses. Needle stick injuries are percutaneous piercing wounds caused by needles that accidentally puncture the skin. These injuries can occur at any time when nurses use‚ disassemble‚ or dispose of needles. When these needles are not disposed in a proper way‚ needles become concealed in linen or garbage and injure other workers who encounter them unexpectedly.

I am writing today to discuss the issue of coastal erosion and the proposed solution of beach nourishment. Coastal erosion has several causes‚ the most prominent being the breaking of waves against the coastline. While seemingly harmless‚ over time waves break away at the shoreline‚ leading to its reduction. Beaches are the one thing that protect coastal structures from such damage. They act as a line of defense for everything they surround‚ and are necessary for communities to thrive along the coast
