The first thing we did before starting everything was to record the beach profiles by splitting everyone into 10 groups with 3-4 people. Some groups were told to us clinometers for the measurement of the beach ranged meanwhile the rest were told to use a measuring wheel to measure the distance. The results were all written down into the booklets, given by teacher, and drawn into a graph.
Group 1 - near the sea defence
Group 2&3 - by the shops
Group 4 - near the car park
Group 5,6,7,8,9&10 - at the mangrove
According to the graph provided from all the groups, the profiles change gradually from the sea defence towards the mangrove. The reason for it is due to the groups calculated the different distance and landform from the road to the sea at different various points. Because different groups calculated the profile from different places and therefore the results turned out gradually according to the environment. For group 1, there wasn’t much changes because the land was pretty straight due to the flat land they have. The next 2 group (3 & 4) were working by the shops and the results were almost the same as group 1. It is because they have quite a flat land compare to group 10’s, where the mangrove had more sediments. Somehow, group 7’s profile wasn’t as smooth as the others’ due to a sudden slop shown at the end of the profile. There are few reasons of causing this issue. It could be caused by strong waves, causing erosion and swiping away the coast and form a sudden slope.
