Some coastal areas have one or more sets of dunes running parallel to the shoreline directly inland from the beach. |
|
They can also originate from beach sands and extend inland into vegetated areas in coastal zones and on shores of large lakes. |
|
Coastal dunes expand laterally as a result of lateral growth of coastal plants via seed or rhizome. |
|
Yesterday's hot weather saw bayside beaches and coastal resorts packed, with surf lifesavers reporting 45 rescues across the state. |
|
Additionally the height of coastal dunes is impacted by storm events, which can erode dunes. |
|
Glaciation of Africa resulted in a major drop in sea level, killing off all life that had established along coastal Gondwana. |
|
Snowfall is very variable from year to year and ranges from 23 days on the high moors to about 6 on coastal areas. |
|
Farming can occur in coastal areas, such as with oyster farms, but more typically occur inland, in lakes, ponds, tanks and other enclosures. |
|
Further along the coast, Porlock is a quiet coastal town with an adjacent salt marsh nature reserve and a harbour at nearby Porlock Weir. |
