Environmental Impact of Beach Nourishment: A Case Study of the Rio San Pedro Beach (SW Spain)

The beaches on the left bank of Rio San Pedro (SW Spain) are in a regressive state because of the human activities of recent decades. With the objective of minimizing the effects of the erosion, the Spanish Coastal Department (Ministry of the Environment) decided that the most suitable solution was to provide sand nourishment. Previously, an environmental impact study (EIS) was carried out on t...

Macrofaunal sediment selectivity considerations for beach nourishment programmes.

Nowadays, beach nourishment is widely considered as a better alternative compared to the construction of hard structures to protect a sandy coast against detrimental erosive effects, both from an ecological and an engineering perspective. The rare studies conducted on the ecological impact of beach nourishment are short-term, post hoc monitoring investigations of the benthic macrofauna. Little ...

Catalan Traffic at the Beach

The ubiquitous Catalan numbers Cn = (2n n ) / (n + 1) occur as t (n,−n) in the following table showing the number of ways to reach the point (n,m) on a rectangular grid under certain traffic restrictions, indicated by arrows. m 1↑→ 3↑→ 6↑→ 9↑→ 12↑→ 12↑→ 12↓→ ↘ 2 1↑→ 2↑→ 3↑→ 3↑→ 3↓→ ↘ 12↓→↘ 1 1↑→ 1↑→ 1↓→ ↘ 3↓→↘ 3↓→↘ 12↓→↘ start here 1↑→gate ↘ 1↓→↘ 1↓→↘ 3↓→↘ 6↓→↘ 15↓→↘ −1 ≈ 1 →↘ 1↓→↘ 2↓→↘ 4↓→↘ 9↓...
