1ctq. Do you think that human activity has increased coastal
erosion? Outline a research program that could test this question. Get solution
2ctq. Do you agree or disagree with the following statements: (1) All structures in the coastal zone, with the exception of critical facilities, should be considered temporary and expendable. (2) Any development in the coastal zone must be in the best interest of the general public rather than the few who developed the oceanfront. Explain your position on both statements. Get solution
3ctq. You have been asked by a coastal community to evaluate the feasibility of a beach nourishment project. Describe the types of information that you would require for your evaluation and how you would determine how often nourishment will be needed in the future. Get solution
4ctq. Compare and contrast the shoreline features of the tectonically active and passive coasts of the United States, and describe how coastal hazards differ in the two coasts that you have evaluated. Get solution
5ctq. Assume you are living on a barrier island in the Gulf of Mexico that is experiencing rapid urbanization. Nearly everyone wants to live near the edge of the ocean, in other words, as close to the water as possible. It is expected that, in 10 years, the number of homes and people will increase dramatically from a few hundred now to a few thousand. You are hired by the community to help evaluate land use and potential effects of coastal erosion. What advice would you give to the communities on the barrier island, and what sorts of data would you need to gather to make conclusions concerning future land use? In addition, how would you handle the people problems? That is, how would you talk to people about erosion and what the consequences are likely to be and how the process might be minimized?
