Long Beach Island is a barrier island located approximately one mile off of the southern coast of New Jersey. The island in some areas is only a half-mile wide, with some areas, which are even narrower. Therefore, coastal erosion and flooding are both major concerns for the residents. Most of the island’s eighteen miles of beaches have experienced significant damage from erosion in recent decades. The damage is not only threatening the multimillion dollar homes in the area, but others also believe that the island will eventually become one with the Atlantic Ocean. However, in 2005 the Army Corps of Engineers began work on a $75 million dollar project to build a dune the length of the island. To analyze the severity of beach erosion on Long Beach Island, the following report compares the conditions to the Grand Strand off the coast of South Carolina. Both areas are experiencing many negative factors, which are contributing to the deterioration of the sandy beaches. The conclusion points to the fact that however short-term beach replenishment may be; it is the most viable option to solve the current devastation of beach erosion.…

Averaging 75 miles a day and contacting communities, schools and local organisations ahead of passing through, and was especially keen on places where the residents and the local government had gone to great lengths to advocate cycling in the community. Took 7 months to complete the trip.…
Imagine a beautiful island full of kids playing on the beaches, climbing the mountains and hills, building forts in the trees, and building sand castles. Now imagine a war torn island with a bunch of soldiers on the beaches shooting and climbing the mountains to get higher ground and climbing trees to hide and snipe off enemy soldiers and soldiers digging foxholes in the beach. This is what the soldiers saw when battling in island hopping. How did the battles help the allies win the war and advance to japan and help with the carpet bombing of the Japanese cities.…
