Introduction to Our Project
Sunday, July 11, 2010
For our geography project, the five of us, Shu Ying, Christy, Yichuan, Zhu Yu and Daniel visited 3 coastal protection sites in Singapore. These include East Coast Park, West Coast Park, and Labrador Nature Reserve.

Locations
- East Coast Park is located on the southeastern coast of Singapore.
- West Coast Park is located in West Coast, Singapore, parallel to West Coast Highway.
- Labrador Nature Reserve is located in Pasir Panjang.

At each site we learned about about the coastal protection measure used there, and we researched on the limitations each measure had.

INTRODUCTION TO COASTAL MANAGEMENT

Coastal protection is the used of various techniques to prevent erosion and flooding at the coast.

The Coastal Zone
The coastal zone is a very important area as it houses more that 50 percent of the world population. IT contain valuable natural resoures and is used for many commercial and industrial activities such as fishing, shipping, and tourism. The area is a also a natural habitat to various animal species. However due to it vulnerabilty to natural change, shore protection is required to prevent flooding and erosion. 


Coastal Protection Methods


Measures used to prevent erosion and flooding near the coast include:


The building of Groynes, Sea walls, Revetments, Rock armours, Gabions, and Offshore breakwaters, and using Cliff stabilization, Entrance training walls, Floodgates, Beach nourishment, Sand dune stabilization, and Beach drainage.

Subsequent posts will explain how some of these measures are used for Coastal Protection in Singapore.
