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...

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...

OBJECTIVES To gather enough data from a large scale investigation involving two health authorities, to assess the possible concentrations and routes of exposure and the consequent health implications. To use the data to decide whether a polluted beach should remain open to the public. In Spring 1997, a chemical incident came to light at a beach on the south coast of England when a local residen...

Salt meadow on lake beaches is the most dynamic plant community. Studying its soil characteristics and response threshold allows us to understand external driving forces of vegetation stable-state maintenance changes, provide a theoretical basis for utilization ecological restoration beach wetland resources. In this study, community diversity, physical chemical properties soil, thresholds key i...

The special environment in beach volleyball playing generates intense stimulation on human bodies, which is pretty helpful in improving the performances of many sports. Meanwhile, the nutrition supply is also showing its critical significance. Due to the altitude environment, a special requirement is imposed on the calorie and nutrition supplied to the bench volleyball players in training. Ther...

The aims of the present study were to establish a detailed and representative record of landing techniques (two-, left-, and right-footed landings) in professional beach volleyball and compare the data with those of indoor volleyball. Beach volleyball data was retrieved from videos taken at FIVB World Tour tournaments. Landing techniques were compared in the different beach and indoor volleybal...

Constraining the exchange of water from the shoreline to the mid-shelf is necessary for the development of accurate and predictive models of nearshore circulation. Ra isotopes, which emanate from sediments and have a variety of half-lives, may be useful in measuring cross-shelf mixing rates. The distributions of Ra isotopes were measured in transects extending perpendicular from the shoreline a...

We investigated the influence on bacterial community and biochemical variables through mechanical disturbance of sediment-akin to small-scale mining in Kalbadevi beach, Ratnagiri, a placer-rich beach ecosystem which is a potential mining site. Changes were investigated by comparing three periods, namely phase I before disturbance, phase II just after disturbance, and phase III 24 h after distur...

Despite providing important ecological functions, seagrass accumulation causes environmental and economic issues, including eutrophication tourism reduction. Nowadays, wrack is commonly removed from the beaches landfilled, which considered least desirable practice according to European Union (EU) Waste Framework Directive. In this study, different management strategies for valorisation, anaerob...
