Introduction:
Every year
millions of dollars of public and private funds is
dedicated to the study of shorelines for different
purposes. Shoreline studies may have many different
reasons. Some may want to study the environmental
factors such as pollution and erosion. They may also
study the economic effects of such environmental
factors. Others may do feasibility studies for the
purpose of construction of roads, barriers, homes,
bridges, ports or preparation of plans for services such
as cleanup or even creation of a public beach. In
general the study of a shoreline is the study of
environmental factors for a specific purpose. In one
specific study, engineers wanted to determine if there
is adequate wind speed to economically justify
development of a wind farm by the shore line. |

In this project you will study a specific shoreline of a river,
ocean or lake. Select a shoreline that its environmental
conditions may have some economic effects on the area.
Find out if the shoreline is
suitable for urban development or construction of roads, ports,
public facilities, etc. In each case discuss the environmental
and economic effects.
