Coastal dunes are globally recognized as natural features that can be important adaptation approaches for climate change along urban and shores. We evaluated the recovery of coastal on an intensively groomed beach in southern California over a six-year period after grooming was discontinued. Restoration actions were minimal included installation three sides perimeter sand fencing, cessation mec...

Shoreline armoring is prevalent around the world with unprecedented human population growth and urbanization along coastal habitats. Armoring structures, such as riprap and bulkheads, that are built to prevent beach erosion and protect coastal infrastructure from storms and flooding can cause deterioration of habitats for migratory fish species, disrupt aquatic-terrestrial connectivity, and red...

Seagrass meadows, while recognized as essential ecosystem service providers, are degrading worldwide. This has a profound impact on the environment but also socioeconomic systems which hope to utilize beach-cast seagrass (wrack) bioresource. study integrates system dynamics (SD) thinking with life cycle assessment (LCA) and costing (LCC) understand how degraded feedbacks into circular bioeconom...

In the face of modern challenges, analyzing sea turtle nesting trends is critical to better understand impacts these vulnerable species. The introduction hard-armoring structures (e.g., seawalls, rock revetments) on beaches poses a threat leatherback ( Dermochelys coriacea ), loggerhead Caretta caretta and green Chelonia mydas ) turtles due habitat loss interactions with physical structure. Des...

Field and laboratory observations have shown that a relatively low beach groundwater table enhances beach accretion. These observations have led to the beach dewatering technique (artificially lowering the beach water table) for combating beach erosion. Here we present a process-based numerical model that simulates the interacting wave motion on the beach, coastal groundwater flow, swash sedime...

Background. Beach soccer is one of the most well-known international sports in the world. The laws of the game were introduced by some associations and today they are covered by FIFA. There are also certain rules for the selection of beach soccer sand, but the specifications are too simple and rough. Thus, a wide range of sand types falls in the acceptable range of FIFA. Objectives. In this st...
