Beach Morphodynamic Classification A classification according to Wright and Short (1984) was applied to categorize the morphodynamic state of the studied beaches. It describes the varying conditions by evaluating the relationships between beach slope, wave forcing, and sediment characteristics. In this study, the morphodynamic indices were considered to test the applicability of the parameter inputs, including surf scaling (ξ) and dimensionless fall velocity (Ω) in order to distinguish different

Crab season arrives at Semiahmoo Marina Crabbing is a big deal for boaters at Semiahmoo Marina. With crabbing season here, now would be a good time to talk about what goes into this northwest tradition to ensure that you have a legal, safe, and enjoyable crabbing experience .

An anomalous body with strange markings and elongated limbs washed up on shore this morning; many new reporters and police men suspect it was a new species or a body exposed to the elements of nature. I held my aspersions against that man; he sued me for 12.4 million dollars. There were bizarre stories in the woods about a weird dimensional man eating cucumbers at night. That man’s speech was brusque, lengthy, and annoying; I plugged my ears to hopefully ignore his dull voice. I could cajole my

The dissolution of coral reefs is a growing consequence to human activities, sedimentation, and ocean acidification. While efforts and monetary investments towards regulation of anthropogenic factors and ocean acidification can project small feats of improvement, it will require time to observe whether or not reduction of these factors correlate with restoration. Coral transplantation appears most effective because it directly combats dissolution of coral reefs and aims to return coral ecosystems

There seems to be a plethora of human problems that are contributing to the problems that surround the Chesapeake Bay. The problems that humans are causing on the environment may or may not be able to be solved. Nevertheless, it is crucial that the human race attempts to do so. There happens to exist a plethora of ways that humans could restore balance to the bay again. human activity takes a toll on the environment, and there are in fact ways to help the bay be nursed back to health Another, perhaps

restore what has been done. About 5 people per year vs 100 million Sharks should be afraid of Sharks or should we be afraid of them? Sharks are an apex predator, they are in charge of the oceanic food chain, they are in thier own right “king of the ocean”. When Shark populations fall it causes problems in many oceanic ecosystems. The loss of Sharks can also lead to the depletion of the habitat itself. Consequently, the depletion of Sharks in the ecosystem causes instability in the entire oceanic ecosystem

are not. How did evolution cross the gap? In your explanation include a description of how animals use chemistry to make light? “The vast majority of bioluminescent organisms reside in the ocean…” [b] so it is clear that this is where bioluminescence evolved from, and since all life originated in the oceans it is likely that this is a very ancient evolutionary adaptation. Based on the wide variety of organisms that possess bioluminescent traits, it is clear that it evolved independently “…at least

surfing lesson—Brinkley’s birthday gift to himself—was not panning out to be the vital toughener-upper, the crucial step-up-to-manhood, the fateful proof-in-the-pudding that Brinkley had imagined. Shivering in his rented wetsuit in the wave zone off Ocean Beach on the edge of fog-frosted San Francisco, Brinkley Minton, 37 last Tuesday, sat bobbing astraddle a borrowed surfboard in water cold enough to slam his skull with sherbet headaches and drive his testicles up into his lungs. It didn’t help that

Fear. The feeling that every sailor feels when their ship is sinking into the deep blue sea. The ship docked on the beautiful day in Pearl harbor. I boarded the ship and went to my small room. I loaded my luggage I needed for a 20-day trip through the pacific. I went opt hear the rules of the sea crusher and as I heard the rules the ship undocked and set out to sea. The next day a storm was spotted. We were warned to turn back by people in the radio, but the captain ignored them and headed towards
