...locations, but every coastline had its resort towns and villages, in a bewildering variety of types and catering for an almost infinite range of social groups and cultural preferences. This was by now a well established resort system, or group of systems, with a history of growth and change which went back to the eighteenth century. The resort map of England and Wales as the Edwardians saw it owed more to the Victorian years and the maps of demand which railways, population concentrations, changing income levels and social structures, and new fashion in the pursuit of health and pleasure, had helped to draw during this dynamic and formative period. European competitors for well-off British holidaymakers had emerged, especially on the French coasts, but there was plenty of growth in demand at working-class and mainstream middle-class levels to sustain continued expansion beyond the turn of the century (Walton, 1983; Travis, 1993). The years between the 1881 and 1911 censuses, and especially the decade of the 1890s, saw the fastest growth in English seaside resort populations, as new competitors appeared for established resorts which themselves often continued to expand impressively. During these 30 years the aggregate off-season population of 145 English and Welsh seaside resorts grew by more than 600,000 to just over 1.6 million — nearly 4.5 percent of the total population (Walton, 1983; Pimlott, 1947)....

Executive Summary The following plan outlines the marketing strategy and tactics for introducing virtual golf to Fox Haven Golf and Country Club (FHGCC), a golf course currently operating in High Level, AB. This is the only golf course in the High Level area, the closest other courses being in La Crete and Fort Vermillion, both over an hour’s drive from High Level. FHGCC will build and open a 10 room Virtual Golf Centre at its current location. FHGCC will target this new venture at its current membership of approximately 120, while opening its doors to new golfers and those wishing to remain active over the long winter months. 2. Current Business Operations FHGCC is an 18-hole, par 72, parkland style golf course and driving range.

...A Tale of Two Managers Andy King COM/170 Elements of University Composition and Communication I April 23, 2012 Charlotte Babb A Tale of Two Managers I have worked with my company for 24 years, and except for the past six months, I have had one manager, Howard Johnson. Unfortunately, Howard passed away last November. The gentleman who replaced Howard as my new manager is Pete Sullivan. Even though they have different management styles, both managers are effective, well liked, respected by their peers, and achieve the same results. Howard and Pete shared many physical similarities, such as age, race, gender, and body type. Howard was a White male, and at the time of his death he was 62 years young. His pot belly usually arrived well ahead of the rest of his five foot ten inch frame. His blond and gray hair was cut short to his scalp and faded into his pale white and freckled complexion. He had crystal blue eyes that could pierce right through anyone when he was serious but could also make someone feel appreciated and truly cared for when he gave praise. I always called him Popeye because he had tremendous forearms. He seemed much too young to die. Pete is a White male, and he is 63 years young. He also has a pot belly that usually greets me before the rest of his six-foot frame can catch up. Pete is bald on top with light brown and gray hair that circles his...

...Morning Beach It is early in the morning and the sky is still dim. The immured beach is quiet besides a flock of seagulls pecking at leftover food wrappers. The yellow, phosphorescent sunrise emerges in the distance. The warm, glowing rays greet me with a friendly hello. Miles of shimmering blue water and brown sugar sand encompass me. As I walk along blanket of sand, along the shore, my footprints show my path and are quickly washed away by the waves, turning the shore into a blank canvas. The crashing waves splash my skin feels as refreshing as an ice cold drink on a summer day. The howling wind whistles along the beach like an arriving train as I return to the main area. The rhythmically pounding waves sound peaceful. I walk to a long strip of shops to admire their exquisite commodities. Small, beachfront shops prepare for the day’s customers who will rummage through their merchandise. Key-holders set the seaside products outside their shops. Fashionable clothes and jewelry are propped in the windows, beside brightly colored seashells. I smell fresh coffee and pastries as I pass a Starbucks Coffee shop. As I continue my morning stroll, I only see joggers along the usually busy sidewalks of Clearwater Avenue. I head back to the beach. Some friends play a competitive game of Frisbee near the beach’s pier. The soft blanket of sand cushions one of the adolescents as he reaches high and then dives for the disk. I look to my left and hear the beach is now filled with...

...3 differences between Constructive and destructive waves Destructive waves are created in storm conditions, Constructive waves are created in calm weather. Destructive waves erode the coast, Constructive waves deposit material Destructive waves have a weak swash and strong backwash whereas constructive waves are the opposite Distinguish between a berm and a storm beach Berms are small ridges that develop at the position of the mean high tide mark resulting from deposition at the top of the swash. Berms are generally created by smaller waves which have less energy so the material is smaller. At the back of the beach, very strong swash during storm conditions may deposit larger material, forming a storm beach or ridge. Name and explain the process that causes waves to appear to bend at a headland and become parallel to the coastline This is called wave refraction. As the waves approach the coast, they travel in a straight line, parallel to each other, as they travel in the same speed. However, as the front of the headland is shallower than the front of the bay, the waves encounter more friction and it slows down. This causes the waves to refract, where the waves bend towards the headlands and bends away at the bay. As the front of the bay is deeper than the front of the headland, the waves encounter less friction and its speed remains. 4 ways in which waves erode Hydraulic action. Air may become trapped in joints and cracks on a cliff...

...technique that I have used e.g. GOAD mapping this technique is a record of different business and building in the location however this data is being collected by walking around the location looking at GOAD map to see changes overtime, this appropriate and out as evidence because if there was building on the coast that is not present it show in comparison that the coast has been retreat. This information may not be accurate because of the limitation has in the GOAD map may not have enough details about building, house and business details. The second fieldwork technique that I would undertake is field sketch/photos this is being collected by drawing a sketch of landmarks and geologically feature of the land like cliffs, headland and wave cut platform, the more detail being draw the more accurate the field sketch also the photos are being taken by a camera to record the feature of the location in more details. This may act as evidence for coastal retreat because if you compare other field sketch that was done by other researcher and there have being changes in the land mass and feature to the extend where some land form may not visible or cannot be seen this show evidence of the coast being retreated but there are some limitation to this field work technique because not all field sketch have being draw accurate to scale also the time of the year...

...drastically depleted shorelines worldwide. Beaches are becoming smaller and smaller, and cities are spending millions of dollars a year on replacing the sand alone (Prasetya). There are many things that humans are doing to devastate the coastlines. Along the coast, activities such as land reclamation, port development, shrimp farming, and construction are leading causes in coastal depletion. Within river catchments and watersheds, activities such as river damming and diversion affect the coast. Offshore events affect beaches as well. Dredging and sand mining are just a few examples of harmful offshore processes. Each of these things, combined with natural forces, put the coasts in dire need(Coastal Managment). It jeopardizes coastal cities and environments’ health. People normally flock to coastal areas to inhabit, and developers now have to deal with the problems of erosion. A strong push has been made by the administration in the areas affected to manage the coastal problems and restore the beaches, as well as make steps to accommodate the short and long-term changes brought along by human activities, environmental disasters and events, and sea level changes. There are many reasons why the coasts have to be protected. Coast lines tend to be heavily populated and are areas of high economic value due to tourism. Damages to these areas affect millions of people, as well as...

...· TIME CONTEXT As a coastal resort destination, Mactan Island stands in sharp contrast to the coast to the coast destination in other Southeast Asian countries. Mactan’s costal tourism has essentially developed on a low rock coast two lagoons facing a deep sea fringed by viable coral reefs. The Mactan shoreline is characterized by short sandy beaches between pronounced coral rock outcrops serving as “headlines” along the southeast coast facing Olango Island. Since the 1970s, this coast has experienced significant change due to poorly planned resort development. Three types of modification to Mactan’s 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 natural sand spit stretching south-west to north-east across the entrance to the Exe estuary in Devon, Dawlish has played a very important role in protecting the West Country railway line and other places from being attacked by the strong sea wave and flooding (Environment Agency, 2015). According to Environment Agency (2015), since the narrow part of Dawlish Warren stands at a greater risk of being breached by strong sea waves and rising sea level, the breaching would lead to the flooding of the railway line and other coastal communities such as Starcross. Therefore, the Dawlish coastal engineering scheme plays a vital role in preventing those estuary communities and the railway line from being affected or damaged by the sea waves and floods....

...Intro: Longshore drift is the transportation of sediments (sand, clay, pebbles) along the coast. It is cause by waves coming at the shore from an angle but then exiting straight backwards. An example of this has been displayed in the diagram below. An effect of longshore drift is that it creates ‘barrier beaches’ which are small strips of sand and gravel that are separated from the main beach/shore. In this report I aim to notify the reader on how to reduce or slow down the effect of longshore drift through different forms of management methods. Prevention Methods: A method to help prevent the effects of longshore drift is to apply breakwater. Breakwater is primarily used to reduce the power of waves hitting the shore. They...

Africa is very similar to the ocean, this does not mean that they aren’t very different. Both the open ocean and the African plains are very similar in many ways. First, both environments are dangerous and deadly. They contain predatory animals and the heat is insane! One wrong move could attract an animal’s attention. In addition, they also require you to use your knowledge and senses to survive. Where the sun sets and rises is useful when knowing when to rest and when to find food. Taste, smell, and touch are very reliable ways to see if food is rotten or poisonous. Lastly, each environment doesn’t have a lot...
