Economic Valuation of Beach Erosion Control Programs
In this study, we employ a choice-based conjoint survey design to elicit individual choices of beach erosion control programs that can potentially cause multiple effects on beach environment. Two empirical choice models which incorporate individual heterogeneity, are used to analyze and compare the elicited individual choices of erosion control programs. Our results show that to a typical indiv...
متن کاملThe effect of sand mulch on runoff and erosion control of the catchment surface
Due to population growth, global warming, changing precipitation patterns, and decreasing precipitation, water and soil are two of the most important human issues. Water and soil resources management in arid and semi-arid regions is one of the methods that can solve water and soil issues. Covering the soil surface with permeable natural materials can reduce water and wind erosion and evaporatio...
متن کاملBeach dune sand hydrophobicity due to the presence of beach vitex ( Vitex rotundifolia L. f.).
Conservation and preservation concerns have led to efforts to understand mechanisms of invasiveness and the effects these mechanisms have on the environment. Vitex rotundifolia L. f. [beach vitex (BV)] was introduced as a salt-tolerant woody ground cover, but it has since become invasive on primary and secondary dunes in coastal areas of the southeastern United States. Much of its invasive pote...
متن کاملAn holistic approach to beach erosion vulnerability assessment.
Erosion is a major threat for coasts worldwide, beaches in particular, which constitute one of the most valuable coastal landforms. Vulnerability assessments related to beach erosion may contribute to planning measures to counteract erosion by identifying, quantifying and ranking vulnerability. Herein, we present a new index, the Beach Vulnerability Index (BVI), which combines simplicity in cal...
متن کاملRisk Assessment: Exposure to Pathogens in Sewage-Contaminated Beach Sand
In mid-winter in a temperate area, untreated municipal sewage overflowed onto ocean beaches. To assess the infection risk posed to beachgoers by sewage-borne pathogens, we developed a framework to predict the concentration of pathogens in beach sand, and coupled the environmental concentration to sand-exposure parameters and dose-response relationships for representative sewage-borne pathogens....
