To Test if Longshore Drift is Taking Place Along Deal Beach on the Day of Our Visit
For this aim, we measured the wave angle. To do this, I laid a
protractor on the floor, and watched for about 5 minutes in which
direction the waves were travelling. I would look down on the
protractor, and note down the angle of the waves. I then worked out
the average angle.
We had to do measure the wave angle because it would show us in which
direction the longshore drift (if any) was taking place, therefore
resulting back to the title of the aim.

On the day of the visit, the weather conditions were probably the
worst conditions of the week. There was rain early on in the morning
and when we arrived, so we had to wait in the minibus for the rain to
stop. It did, and so we could carry out our investigation. The
temperature was 59 º, so not very warm. The cloud cover was about 80%,
so not much sunshine at all.
To measure the wind speed, I used an instrument called Anemometer
(fig.3). I basically held this instrument up in the air, and the wind
would blow onto its fan, and it would measure the speed for me. To
measure the wind direction, I held my handkerchief up in the air, and
recorded using a compass, the direction the handkerchief was facing,
and went to the opposite of that because that would be the direction

Method(data collection) ----------------------- If Long Shore Drift were taking place, I would expect to find: * Deposition of pebbles on one side of any obstruction. This obstruction could be a headland or an artificial barrier such as a groyne.
To measure the depth of the river we had to get two ranging poles and
Case Study of Hastings Coastal Management Hastings is a town on the south coast of England approximately 60 miles south of London (see map below). In recent years, the coastline at Hastings has had to face many large scale problems, including the 10 km stretch from Hastings eastwards to the small town of Fairlight. With the coastline at constant exposure to the English Channel, there are many coastal processes which take place along the stretch of beach and cliff.

There are many different types of coasts that exist throughout the United States. The south shore of Long Island has a unique types of coast known as a barrier beach. Barrier beaches are long narrow land forms that are composed of sand and other lose sediments. These sediments are brought together by the actions of waves, currents and storm surges. Barrier beaches are subject to constant changes by the same forces. Sand is constantly eroded in one area an deposited in another. Barrier coasts are important for a number of reasons; they protect the mainland of Long Island from the open ocean and flooding during storms, for recreational use and the unique ecosystems which exist on barrier beaches.

... consider some ideas of what can be done to further enhance the management of the coastal issue. Using the research action plan, I aim to acquire a sophisticated understanding of longshore drift, coastal management and implementations of coastal issues, through the research action plan. Most importantly, I will include various diagrams explaining how the process of longshore drift occurs and what implementations it has on coastal environments, accompanied by an explanation of how the issue is being managed, a detailed outline of the geographical processes involved and a discussion of the impacts of the issue and why it is important.

I live in the city of Huntington Beach, a city where the waves and beaches are famous and known all around the world for it 's surfing and one of the best places to be able to take your four legged babes to run and romp around in the sand and waves. A place that can seem like a piece of heaven to those that like to surf. But did you know that Huntington Beach has a dark side to it, one that many of it 's citizens do not like to talk about or don 't know about.
At the tide pools, the scientists reiterated "beach etiquette" then we divided into groups, and made everyone within the groups paired up with a partner. Each pair was then given a study sheet with different critters, and then the groups were free to explore the tide pools. Among the many critters observed including sea cucumber, jellyfish, clam worms, etc. the most interest/fascinating for me was the nudibranch and the shield limpet.
We will use this way to collect beach profile because it is the easiest way to find out what we need it is also done this way because it is more accurate and more reliable the more times we do it but eventually it will stop as we only go 50 metres at a time.
