  • Potentially Useful Beach Nourishment and Associated Studies/Projects – References
    Sand Nourishment Forum – Sand Nourishment Reference list October 2013 Updated from Coasts & Ports Conference, Sydney 2013 Potentially Useful Beach Nourishment and Associated Studies/Projects – References Foreword: The Coasts & Ports 2013 Organising Committee introduced a half- day Sand Nourishment Forum comprising a Questions and Answers format directed to an experienced Panel with audience participation to explore and promote the use of sand nourishment as a viable method for managing short term erosion and long term coastal recession. The Forum emanated from great interest in beach nourishment around Australia, with a long history of successful projects from Adelaide to Noosa and major projects on the Gold Coast. The 2013 Conference was launched with a keynote address from Dr Stefan Aarninkhof who was intricately involved in the Delfland Sand Engine project in the Netherlands, which has introduced 21.5M m3 of offshore sands to the Dutch coast to provide coastal protection and prevent coastal inundation. As a precursor to the Beach Nourishment Forum at the Coast & Ports Conference 2013 in Sydney, A. D. Gordon (Forum Moderator) compiled the following list of reference material with contributions from J.T. Carley, E.D. Couriel, A. L. Jackson, A.R Jones, D.B. Lord, A.F. Nielsen, T.D. Shand, R.B. Tomlinson, T. Stul, R. Tucker. The list is intended to be a start on a “live “ document that can be added to, as further reference material becomes available/unearthed. The list has been compiled to assist those carrying out or contemplating beach nourishment, beach scraping and entrance by-passing or back-passing projects. It is hoped that other special interest topics to the coastal and port engineering profession may be run in similar forums as part of the future Coasts & Ports Conference series.

  • Systematic Conservation Assessments for Marine Protected Areas in New South Wales, Australia
    This file is part of the following reference: Breen, Daniel A. (2007) Systematic conservation assessments for marine protected areas in New South Wales, Australia. PhD thesis, James Cook University. Access to this file is available from: http://eprints.jcu.edu.au/2039 Hawkesbury Shelf assessment 7 MPA assessment of the Hawkesbury Shelf bioregion 7.1 Introduction The NSW Marine Parks Authority aims to establish and manage a comprehensive, adequate and representative system of marine protected areas (MPAs) to help conserve marine biodiversity and maintain marine ecosystem processes (NSW Marine Parks Authority 2001). The Hawkesbury Shelf bioregional assessment is one of several projects to systematically assess broad scale patterns of biodiversity within each of five NSW marine bioregions and identify where additional MPAs may be required (Figure 7.1). This chapter summarises the broad scale information and methods used to identify some options for new MPAs on the basis of ecological criteria alone. Possible areas for large, multiple use marine parks are identified and important locations and conservation values within each are described (Section 7.5 and Appendix 3). Given the uncertainty involved in assessing biodiversity and the complex issues involved, a strong emphasis is placed on presenting information and methods to examine a range of options. A separate selection process is now required for more detailed site assessments, consultation with communities and consideration of social, economic and cultural values. The information, criteria and methods applied here should also assist in ongoing assessment, selection, and management of MPAs and in other strategies to conserve marine ecosystems in NSW. 7.2 Geographic extent The Hawkesbury Shelf bioregion was defined in the Interim Marine and Coastal Regionalisation of Australia (IMCRA 1998) from recommendations provided by Pollard et al.
