Description 1135-1139
Beach processes along the Neendakara-Kayamkulam sector on
the coast of Kerala related to the offshore
waves and local wind conditions are investigated.
This study is based on the field observations made during March 2012 to March
2013, which indicates that a major portion of the beach is dynamically stable
except for a few hot spot locations, wherein,
the natural balance or equilibrium has been disturbed due to excessive mining
or introduction of hard structures as a part of harbour development activities
or shore protection measures. It is also observed that the condition of some of
the areas which were under heavy erosion during the last decade has improved
considerably or remained more or less stable in recent past probably due to the
protection measures adopted.
