Seawall
A seawall (or sea wall) is a form of coastal defense constructed where the sea, and associated coastal processes, impact directly upon the landforms of the coast. The purpose of a seawall is to protect areas of human habitation, conservation and leisure activities from the action of tides, waves, or tsunamis. As seawall is a static feature it will conflict with the dynamic nature of the coast and impede the exchange of sediment between land and sea. Seawall designs factor in local climate, coastal position, wave regime (determined by wave characteristics and effectors), and value (morphological characteristics) of landform. Seawalls are hard engineering shore-based structures which protect the coast from erosion. Various environmental issues may arise from the construction of a seawall, including the disruption of sediment movement and transport patterns. Combined with a high construction cost, this has led to an increasing use of other soft engineering coastal management o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

"Lenni-Lenape," literally means "Men of Men", but is translated to mean "Original People." The Lenape names for the areas they inhabited were ''Scheyichbi'' (i.e. New Jersey), which means "water's edge", and '' Lenapehoking'', meaning "in the land of the Delaware Indians." It describes the ancient homeland of all Delaware Indians, both Unami and Munsee. The ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

County Route 6 (Monmouth County, New Jersey)
The following is a list of county routes in Monmouth County in the U.S. state of New Jersey. For more information on the county route system in New Jersey as a whole, including its history, see County routes in New Jersey. History In the 1937 renumbering of Monmouth County roads, numbers 1 through 5 were reserved for the longer, "cross-county" routes; those numbered 6 and above were to be more local in nature. County Route 1 was designated to run from the Mercer County line via Freehold and Eatontown to the Long Branch city limits. With the establishment of the 500 Series of county routes, CR 1 was superseded by CR 524 from the Mercer County line to Smithburg, and CR 537 from Smithburg to the Long Branch boundary. The present CR 1 was formed when part of CR 3 was separated from the balance of CR 3 with the 1952 establishment of CR 527 as part of the 500 Series routes. Since the CR 1 designation was available, that portion of CR 3 between CR 527 and CR 571 was re-designate ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
