Abstract:

Proving the necessity of dunes is illustrations of the lingering impact of hurricanes on them and coastal ecosystems. Also used as evidence is the process involved with their return. The complexity of dune formation is explained in descriptions and images, which include species vulnerable and resistant to hurricane-generated erosion’s impact.

Abstract:

In addition to the natural forces at work on coastlines there is change being brought about by increasing populations. Where rates of development are rapid, we find that map revisions cannot keep pace and therefore we must rely on other information sources. Standard vertical aerial photography can provide very complete information about structures, vegetation, and coastal morphology.
