holiday times the population of these areas can double‚ placing pressure on the infrastructure and environment of the area. Recreational activities like four-wheel driving places pressure on the coastal environment if it is not carefully managed‚ large dune areas and beaches where vehicles are given access can be highly susceptible to erosion. Population growth is the overdevelopment and rapid growth of coastal areas occur due to the current Australian trend for people to move from large cities to

on the sand dunes and rocks on the coastline of Terrigal and Wamberal. Some people have caused more pressure on these areas as they have built housing such as at Stop 7‚ “The Ruins” Wamberal South. Many of the people that lived on the beach have tried to find ways to stop most of the erosion from waves and wind affecting their land and housing. On the beach we saw many strategies that are effective in their own ways but not permanent. One way was to plant vegetation on the sand dune‚ this has effect

shrunk into a mere isolated island. There is destruction everywhere. Road works are left unfinished‚ doors of houses are left open and there is no one. In the foggy and dim distance several buildings rise with dignity and pride‚ above the dancing sand dunes and several others are prisoners of the black smog that beseiges them. The black smog gradually begins to engulf the sick and weary Sun and the hands of its dying beams stretch out to calm down the enraging and exasperating crimson clouds. How strange

to investigate Long Reef and Collaroy Beach’s coastal management. Sand Dunes The Importance of Vegetation Sand dunes are a valid indication of the quality of the soil and the surrounding ocean. When vegetation is established in sand dunes‚ it stabilises it- i.e. gives the dunes structure. This structure helps prevent erosion by using the plant life to trap the sand. Without these plants (and ultimately the sand dunes) sand will be subject to many natural forces without protection‚ meaning any

coir can be used in a variety of landscaping situations‚ from sand dunes to wetlands‚ by simply changing the method of implementation‚ from thin mats to a series of rolls depending on the function it needs to serve. Cheaper insulation would mean that lower socio-economic households could afford to insulate‚ reducing their heating/cooling energy costs and saving them money in the long run. Using the coir to rehabilitate sand dunes would make both a major social and environmental impact‚ by keeping

The landscape of the story is no doubt a desert; sand dunes‚ small shrubs‚ will grass‚ blistering heat‚ scavengers and very little water. Although the desert can be easily described‚ Austin goes to great lengths to show the relationships between the subtle changes in the landscape‚ behavioral patterns of animals‚ and even the way plant life grows around the landscape. For example‚ she describes and almost personifies the way that the dunes are blown up on themselves that eventually form a shield

Hard engineering refers to the construction of physical structures to defend against erosive power of waves To protect a coast from erosion‚ people have built seawalls in front of a cliff or along the coast. A seawall is usually made of concrete. It acts as a buffer and absorbs energy of breaking waves especially during storms where the waves are strong‚ thus protecting the coast. A seawall shields and protects the coast from the direct impact of the incoming waves‚ thus reducing erosion. However
