- Waves help take sand and transport it to the coast line, also eroding rocks and creating more sand over time.
- Wind picks up sand and helps make solid and substantial dunes.

- As time went on Florida became more and more submerged underwater because of the sea level rising. ]]> 2016-12-09 18:49:59 UTC https://padlet.com/freemant19/567ye6pxkuuz/wish/142884319 freemant19 https://padlet.com/freemant19/567ye6pxkuuz/wish/142884948 -Long shore currents move sediment and sand on the coast.
- Sand and sediment are moved up and down the shore, deposited into new areas creating dunes and other formations on the coast.
-Long Shore currents move parallel to the coast, and move water that is in the surf zone.]]> 2016-12-09 18:52:18 UTC https://padlet.com/freemant19/567ye6pxkuuz/wish/142884948 freemant19 https://padlet.com/freemant19/567ye6pxkuuz/wish/142885101 -Dunes are loose hills of sand, formed by the elements, such as water and wind.
-Wind blows sand grains against obstacles, over time sand dunes.
-In Florida, sticks and branches begin to line the coast, and this traps the sand on the shore, over time accumulating and forming large dunes.]]> 2016-12-09 18:52:52 UTC https://padlet.com/freemant19/567ye6pxkuuz/wish/142885101 freemant19 https://padlet.com/freemant19/567ye6pxkuuz/wish/142885281 - Dunes serve as protection and habitat. They protect society from natural disasters such as tsunamis and storm surges. It also serves as habit for animals such as ghost crabs, snakes, and other wildlife.]]> 2016-12-09 18:53:45 UTC https://padlet.com/freemant19/567ye6pxkuuz/wish/142885281 lamoriellob19 https://padlet.com/freemant19/567ye6pxkuuz/wish/142885504 -Barrier islands protect the coast from harsh wave and winds.
-Without barrier islands, hurricanes would be much worse, and erosion would become more of any issue.
-They're used at the first line of defense to absorb storm energy that would otherwise hit the mainland.]]> 2016-12-09 18:54:35 UTC https://padlet.com/freemant19/567ye6pxkuuz/wish/142885504 freemant19 https://padlet.com/freemant19/567ye6pxkuuz/wish/142885537 - Jetties help because it prevents sand from getting into the river or intercostal. Jetties also can cause erosion because of the lack of sand on the other side.
-  Groins are made to trap sand that moves down the the beach from a longshore drift. It causes erosion because when water goes over the groin it swoops back down and scrapes sand off the bottom
-  Sea walls serve as protection for beach side property. Waves crashing on the wall and bounce back which erodes the sand underneath the wall. In order to support the wall you have to add rocks.
-  Beach Renourishment is the process of taking sand and dumping it or pumping it onto a beach that is eroded. Usually Beach Renourishment sand erodes
-  Dune Restoration - This means dune rehabilitation. After dunes are damaged by hurricanes or storm surges the dunes need to restored. A downside to this is the sand used to restore the dunes can be from the bottom of the ocean, where the sand's grains are larger, causing vegetation like Sea Oats to not grow in the sand.]]> 2016-12-09 18:54:42 UTC https://padlet.com/freemant19/567ye6pxkuuz/wish/142885537 freemant19 https://padlet.com/freemant19/567ye6pxkuuz/wish/142885775 - Sand is a mixture of rocks, seashells, calcium, seaweed, and other minerals near the shore.
-Over time, rocks are eroded by nearby water, forming most of the sand's composition.

-All branches are angled upwards and away from the sea. 
-Usually flat-topped, gnarled, and twisted 
-They tend to grow longer roots, keeping the sand around them stable so they don't wash into the ocean.]]> 2016-12-09 18:56:11 UTC https://padlet.com/freemant19/567ye6pxkuuz/wish/142885943 lamoriellob19 https://padlet.com/freemant19/567ye6pxkuuz/wish/142886143 -Many types of butterflies are endemic to the barrier islands
-Milkweed grows on barrier islands, which Monarch Butterflies need to lay their eggs, 
-The offspring of the Monarch Butterflies eat the Milkweed.]]> 2016-12-09 18:56:53 UTC https://padlet.com/freemant19/567ye6pxkuuz/wish/142886143 freemant19 https://padlet.com/freemant19/567ye6pxkuuz/wish/143616849 2016-12-14 15:08:25 UTC https://padlet.com/freemant19/567ye6pxkuuz/wish/143616849 freemant19 https://padlet.com/freemant19/567ye6pxkuuz/wish/143686454 http://www.malibumakos.com/private-surf-lessons/longshore-currents-shoreline-and-beach-drafts/
