eighteen kilometers long coastal stretch from the new mangalore port in the north totalapadi in the south has been studied in order to understand shoreline changes and erosion/ accretion patterns that have taken place due to the natural processes and anthropogenic activities. shoreline changes and quantification of beach erosion/accretion were made using the survey of india topomap, multidated ...

Sediment transport and, consequently, the beach profile changes in swash zone are important to overall sediment budget and evolution because hydrodynamic condition this is complex. One of morphodynamic difficulties estimating accretion erosion above mean water level. Although there have been considerable studies investigations into morphodynamic, numerical models for predicting rate limited. Th...

all experiments in this study were carried out in a flume which was located in the hydraulic laboratory of technical faculty in guilan university. the wave flume was 12 m long, 0.5 m wide, 0.5 m high and equipped with a wave-producing system and ultrasonic sensors. the objectives of current experimental study are to investigate sediment transport, bed formation and sustainability of sandy beach...

Marine turtle reproductive success is correlated with the stability and quality of the nesting environment. Female marine turtles show fidelity to nesting beaches, making artificial beach nourishment practices directly relevant to their recovery. We evaluated the impacts of artificial beach nourishment on Loggerhead (Caretta caretta) and Green turtles (Chelonia mydas) between artificially nouri...
