...I N T R O D U C T I O N Many Bahamians enjoy our nations coastline and waterways everyday. However, many beach users are positively contributing to the wearand tear of our beautiful beaches. This is due to the fact that they leave their debris on the shoreline or throw it in the sea. Debris is define by http://dictionary.reverso.net/ as fragnments or remnants of something destroyed or broken. The word beach is defined by the Cambridge Dictionary as an area of sand or small stones near the sea or another area of water such as a lake. Therefore, based on the definition on both debris and beach, many users are unaware of how their daily activities, from driving a car, to not properly disposing of their garbage, or even throwing a cigarette butt on the ground, can impact the plants and animals off our shores. These debris can harm or kill beach organisms. Pollution also makes using the beach less enjoyable for humans and can result in illnesses in swimmers, surfers and other ocean enthusiasts. If this problem is not rectified we will have to deal with a devastating economic consequence on our communities and our beaches that are tourist attracttions. Therefore, as citizens we must do our best to prevent our beaches from becoming polluted by trash which threatens our marine life as well. Debris is indeed not a small problem...

...market exposure for our product is to go global. The product itself often appeals to watersport fans, so the majority of our marketing distribution channels will be directed toward areas located near large bodies of waters around the Globe. Dual distribution centers will be set up in different countries focusing more on coastline locations. Here in the US, along the east and west coasts, we have many popular beaches where different water sports such as surfing, wake boarding, and extreme fishing are practiced. In the East Coast, we will locate our larger distribution centers in the more popular beaches such as; Hampton Beach, Manhattan Beach, South Beach, Myrtle Beach, Virginia Beach, and Wrightsville beach. We have discovered that in some northern beaches such as Manhattan Beach, locales and travelers tend to stay out of the water due to pollution and extreme cold water temperatures. Hopefully, we can target market our product to these groups of people, as well as others, and position the product in their heads as a “need” to help them get back in the water. Since we are a dual distribution center, consumers will be able to physically walk in our facilities and purchase to order, or rent their H2O Soulz. Intermediaries will perform different distribution functions including, selling and maintaining inventories. We will also be using methods of Electronic Marking Channels through our...

...customer experience tangible elements are also delivered with the service. Take an example of a restaurant which has only chairs and tables and good food, or a restaurant which has ambient lighting, nice music along with good seating arrangement and this also serves good food. Which one will you prefer? The one with the nice ambience. That’s physical evidence. Several times, physical evidence is used as a differentiator in service marketing. Imagine a private hospital and a government hospital. A private hospital will have plush offices and well dressed staff. Same cannot be said for a government hospital. Thus physical evidence acts as a differentiaton. We will use different types of cleanup projects to keep free from dump si that our beach will be looks more freshen up. We wil attempt to mimic natural beaches with fountains that imitate surf and mask city noises, and in some cases can be used as a play park. We wil give different types of facility to increse physical e physical vidence of our recreational beac • the establishment of a water quality classification system; • the obligation upon the national or appropriate regulatory authorities to maintain a listing of all recognized recreational water areas in a publicly accessible location; • the definition of responsibility for establishing a plan for recreational water safety management and its implementation; • independent surveillance and provision of information to the public; • the obligation to act, including...

...Shoreline is one of the most rapidly changing landforms of the coastal zones, geomorphic processes such as erosion, deposition, sedimentation, periodic storms, flooding and also sea level changes are continuously modifying the shoreline. The accurate mapping of the shoreline is therefore very important for planning conservation measures such as protection of human life, property, and natural environments. The coastal zone is receiving an increasing attention because of the pressures of increasing population and industrial developments. Also erosion is caused by shifting of river mouths and spits. Protection of natural resources, the loss of habitats, severe coastal erosion, sedimentation in ports and harbours, and municipal and industrial pollution are major concerns of the coastal zone managers. Conservation and management of the coastal features requires thorough knowledge about the geomorphic domains existing in the coastline and their usage. COASTAL ENVIRONMENTS The zone where land and sea meet is composed of a variety of complex environments. The coastal areas of the world contain a large percentage of its population and are therefore of extreme economic importance. Industrial, residential and recreational developments, as...

...A place that I previously lived near was the Pacific Ocean, which was located approximately two miles from Newport Beach and Huntington Beach, California. I lived near these Southern California beaches for over twenty years and visited them frequently during all four seasons. I have walked miles of their shoreline, taking in the sights and sounds of various birds flying high above in the sky. During the summer, I would get out into the water and bodyboard endless waves that propelled me towards the sandy coastline. What I have noticed throughout my years of visiting Huntington Beach is how the presence of single use plastic bags and bottles have increased along the shoreline, especially in and around the mouth of the Santa Ana river....

...They are relatively strong, narrow current flowing outward from the beach through the surf zone and presenting a hazard to swimmers. They typically extend from the shoreline, through the surf zone, and past the line of breaking waves. Rip currents can occur at any beach with breaking waves. On the Pacific Ocean coast line, the prevailing winds are behind the waves, which increase the waves' energy. On the Atlantic Ocean coast, the prevailing winds blow against the incoming waves, decreasing the waves' energy. Rip currents can be killers. The United States Lifesaving Association estimates that the annual number of deaths due to rip currents on our nation's beaches exceeds one hundred (2016). If the distance between the wavelengths is long then the waves are shorter and smoother; if the distance of the wavelength is shorter than the waves are bigger and rougher. In the Pacific Ocean’s water, the average wavelength...

...southeast coast can be identified. The early stage involved the least amount of change to the rock coast. The existing limited sandy beaches were used and sea walls were built where necessary. The middle stage of modification witnessed a variety of coastal structures built to retain the beaches, together with the use of imported sand for beach nourishment. Groins and breakwaters were deployed in various ways to create different resort layouts. The final stage of modification was the excavation of the rock coast and the creation of new and artificial beaches. Shangri-La’s Mactan Island Resort was the first to carry out the bold move of excavating the rock and building an entire artificial beach. The process of creating a new beach started with the initial removal of the rock along a 350m stretch by jackhammers to form a large bay. Two large outcrops were left behind to remain as island and to help retain sand. Two large groins were constructed at the ends of the new bay. Natural sand, in the form of shoals, was placed at appropriate depths for waves to move into the bay. Eventually, three separate foreshore beaches with a continuous backshore beach were formed. The construction of the Plantation Bay Resort involved the initial excavation of rock at the head of the...

...The, enclosed, beach is silent. The bright ball blinds you as it emerges; it rises like a yellow lollipop on the distant horizon. Crashing against the shore, small waves wash the night's debris onto the land. Untouched golden sand covers the floor as far as your eyes can see. Soothing, a gentle sea breeze rustles through your hair. Beach shops prepare for their day of excited costumers bustling in and out of their small seafront shops. Opening their doors, they bring out all of there beach products looking out to the sea you can see the large cruise ships on the worlds edge. Abandoned, nothing there apart from a few sea gulls pecking at the rubbish left by yesterday's visitors. Empty crisp wrappers, chocolate wrappers, ice cream papers and half eaten cones scatter the yellow sand. Young children stumble onto the moist sand, with small buckets and spades in their hands, they shout and talk in excitement. Damp sand is forced between their toes. Straight away, the young children put on their swimming costumes and are smothered with thick white sun screen, to protect them from the bright sun. Children running towards the shoreline; their parents struggle onto the sand, loaded like camels with everything they will need for their day. Sandwiches, cold drinks, wind breakers, towels all bagged up and slung over both shoulders. A hot sea breeze rushes through the visitor's hair, as you stand there you can taste the salt in the air because it is so strong. The sound of the waves crashing...

...swim until we were exhausted. Games would last until we could hear our parents yelling for us to return to the home for the diner, and even then most of us would wait a while longer until we were "in trouble" for not listening. The parents generally didn't mind because they knew we were having a great time. The years grew on and we still played, but more of the kids stoped playing or moved so the games were not exciting as when we played as kids. The the beach provided entertainment for everyone. Whether for the older folks relaxing in the sand and tannning or getting their feet just wet. young kids playing in the shallow water, where you can see to the bottom of the ocean. swiming with the small fish nipping at their feet. My generation prefered the wild side of the beach and we would swim out as far as we could, with crashing waves and the adrienline running the farther we went. Nothing can match the feeling after a good long day at the beach. Usually lunchtime\dinner was spent eating fresh fish and fried plantes by the beach. Panama city the captial of panama is definitely a veery busy city. No matter where I go, I can see confusion that never seems to end.

...in the world has a place where they can go to relax. Where they can forget about all their worries and just breathe in some fresh air and not have to think about what needs to be done and when. To many, the beach is the ultimate place for relaxation. As you stroll along the beach you can feel the sand in your feet and the waves hitting your legs. Under the surface you can feel your feet step on little seashells as you walk. When building a sandcastle the sand sifts right through your hands. Walking on the boardwalk there are too many smells to remember them all. The smell of the ocean salt is the most prominent. The smell of French fries, and Fresh popped popcorn fill the streets. What you see when your visiting the beach is simply amazing. Watching all the little children run around in the waves and building sandcastles. Adults are rubbing sunscreen all over themselves and their children. The waves crashing down out in the ocean are breathtaking. If you’re lucky you may even be able to see dolphins swimming in and out of the water. The beach is just one of the world most relaxing destinations. Whether you’re in Ocean City, New Jersey or The Dominican Republic. What you see, touch, and feel when you’re at the beach will be forever unforgettable. To me, the beach is the best place on...

...smell reminded me of my vacations to Florida over winter break. I will never forget the fresh smell of the air when we stepped off the airplane. I could see my grandparents from across the crowded airport. I would always be so excited to step on the soft, white, sandy beach. The first thing I would do is change into my bathing suit and run out to the beach. My sister and I would spend the day splashing in the salty water, until we were too tired to keep our heads above the water. Then we would lie on the soft damp sand and take a nap. It felt so good to have the bright sun blazing down on me. My favorite thing to do was build gigantic sand castles on the beach. My sister and I would have contests to see who could build the tallest sand castle. The grains of sand glistened in the sun like a diamond ring. I will never forget how the gigantic orange trees towered over me. Every day my grandpa would pick me an orange; they were so juicy! Every time I think about an orange, my mouth waters, and I think of how sweet they taste. Normally bedtime was a problem for me, but in Florida I fell right to sleep every night. I would leave the windows wide open, and I would fall asleep to the waves crashing on the sandy beach. I could hear the birds chirping outside my window along with the rustling of the wind. In the mornings we would walk to this little breakfast place called Bagel Snack. I would usually get a bagel and cream cheese, but sometimes I would live on the edge and get...

...dunes. in addition, the rapid shoreline erosion in Assateague Island is due to the starvation of sand blocked off by the Ocean City inlet jetties. One big problem is that People's activities are often conducted without an adequate understanding of coastal geology and processes. As a result, they can lead to unforeseen degradation of coasts. Even human actions intended to save or improve the coast may inadvertently increase erosion. Scientific investigations are starting to provide the crucial . If we go into more details of how human activity have hurt the environment of the coastal regions we can not forget about the oil pipes, shoreline can be detrimental to many human activities. Leisure activities are obviously affected. Going to the beach, swimming in the sea, recreational fishing, diving, surfing, sailing all become impossible amongst oil slicks, causing economic and social consequences which can be very significant in popular tourist regions. Another example is the Gulf of Mexico, where 30 - 40%...

...The three components of business is; business as a commerce, business as an occupation, and business as an organization. The business in my area I would like to talk about is the little store right down the road here. It is owned by a very nice man from India. His products fit the area. He buys and trades for goods that the people around High Island might buy. There are so many different races and ages that stop there because it is a mile from the local beaches and they are headed to the beach for fun, fishing, or both. So the shelves are stocked with things that these people might buy but the prices may be a little high because the store is the only one for many miles. Business as an occupation with this store is that the owner Dave buys things from a local warehouse that deals in large wallets and belt buckles. There are other small items Dave buys from the same person. So he is trying the product out and if it sells he will buy more, it they do not sell he will not be buying anymore because they will not sell so no profit or not very much of one. So the man makes the stuff then sells it to Dave who sells to his customers. Prices do go up in Dave’s store when the price of his products he buys from the warehouse, go up. In order to keep his profit margin to stay the same he goes up in his price to his customers. These are called transaction costs and they are a part of the business...

...Compare and Contrast Essay “Vacationing at the Beach or in the Mountains” By AJ Brammer People are always looking forward to their vacation period. There are many options where to choose. I think that the two most common places people choose for taking a vacation are the beaches and the mountains. Both places offer a variety of fun activities. The beach offers activities that the mountain cannot offer and vice versa. The mountain and the beach are totally different. The purpose of this essay is to contrast the climate, types of activities and locations of beaches and mountains. I’m going to discuss mountains first. The three aspects I’m going to discuss are climate, types of activities and location. Climate is always important in order to enjoy vacations. If a person dislikes cold weather, he or she might have a hard time in the mountains. The cold climate in the mountains is the first barrier to enjoying them, but the climate and the temperature of these zones also determine the types of activities they offer. Snowboarding, mountain climbing, mountain biking, hiking, and skiing are some activities people can enjoy when going to the mountains. There are many regions that have mountains where people can go and have a great vacation. Canada is a country located in North America and contains many mountain vacation sites where people can go and have fun. I’m going to discuss the beach second. The three aspects I’m going to discuss are climate, types of activities and location...

I can see an elderly couple walking a long the sand, a yellow labrador running happily ahead.The smooth weathered rocks of the cliff side whisper in the wind.The crisp seaweed pushed onto the rocks by the waves, lay baking at the sea's edge, occasionally moving with the tide. The clear blue sea's waves rattle the tiny pebbles embedded in the golden sand. The foam from the waves cover a small child's forgotten sandcastle, bringing it down with a dull crash. The high tide pushes back the crowd of people to the beach's edge. Ice cream stalls and candy floss stands wafts a sickly sweet smell of sugar to a group of little children, who pester their parents for an ice cream in loud, whining voices that carries across the beach. The clinking of glasses at the bar and the low hum of conversation mingle in with the loud seagull's squawking. The swooping of the gulls to capture food littered across the sand scare a couple of people into dropping their ice creams and hotdogs. The Smell of salt consumes me as the water splashes along the sandy...
