Purpose of Study (as a question): What are the coastal processes that led to the formation of coastal features at Columbus Bay, Cedros, Southwest Trinidad?
OBJECTIVES:
1. To identify coastal processes at work in Columbus Bay
2. To collect quantitative data measuring these processes
3. To identify the coastal features and how the coastal processes have influenced their formation
Location of study:
For the Location of study, you are to have THREE well drawn, well labelled maps.
1. Map of Trinidad showing location of study: this is a map of Trinidad with Key, Title, North sign, Scale. You are to HIGHLIGHT the area of study i.e. put a red dot (or whichever outstanding colour you have) on the area of study. Also show the water bodies around Trinidad, the three Ranges, Port of Spain and San Fernando.
2. Map of St. Patrick's County highlighting Columbus Bay, Cedros .
3. Street map of area
NB: ALL MAPS ARE TO BE HANDDRAWN NOT PRINTED ON A COMPUTER!!
All maps are NOT DRAWN TO SCALE.
Methodology:
PLEASE WRITE THE METHODOLOGY IN YOUR OWN WORDS!!!
HOW:
- Define Primary Data and Secondary Data
- Differentiate Quantitative and Qualitative Data
- Instruments used: ranging rods, paper and pen, camera, coloured pebbles, ruler, measuring tape, recording sheets for wave frequency, wave height, two clinometers.
- 3 sites were chosen and the methodology was carried out
- A section of the coastline was sketched; a beach profile was sketched; longshore drift was observed; rock structure observed, wave frequency was recorded, wave height was recorded, beach angle was recorded.
WHEN:
Date: Friday 17th September, 2021
Time: Between the hours of 1 and 3 pm
WHERE: Columbus Bay, Cedros, Trinidad.
DATA:
Three sites were selected. All sites are 100 feet apart
BEACH WIDTH
SITE 1: 8 metres
SITE 2: 9.5 metres
SITE 3: 8.75 metres
LONGSHORE DRIFT
General Direction: South
Distance that material was moved from each site
Site 1: 19 m
Site 2: 20 m
Site 3: 23.25 m
BEACH ANGLE
SITE 1
Upslope angle: 4 degrees Downslope angle 3 degrees, average angle 3.5 degrees
SITE 2
Upslope angle: 5 degrees Downslope angle 6 degrees, average angle 5.5 degrees
SITE 3
Upslope angle: 4 degrees Downslope angle 6 degrees, average angle 5 degrees
PRESENTATION OF DATA
For the presentation of data, you will need to have the following
- the field sketch showing the features. This is to be HAND DRAWN
- Beach profiles using the data below for EACH site
- A diagram showing direction of longshore drift
- Bar graphs or line graphs to show wave height and wave frequency
- Photos of the features at Columbus Bay
