Endeavour Inlet
Endeavour Inlet () is a large inlet of Queen Charlotte Sound, part of New Zealand's Marlborough Sounds. It lies north-east of Bay of Many Coves / Miritū Bay and south-west of Resolution Bay. The inlet is home to a number of retreats, including Furneaux Lodge and Punga Cove. History When James Cook visited the inlet he nailed an inscribed copper plate to a tree, bearing a date and other information. According to an old whaler named Thoms, geologist Ferdinand von Hochstetter from the Austrian ''Novara'' expedition, 1858, took the plate during a visit to the region in 1859. At the time of James Cook's anchorage in 1770 in Queen Charlotte Sound, the inlet and other bays near the entrance of the sound were seasonally populated by groups of Māori, most likely the tribes: Ngāti Apa, Ngāti Kuia, and Rangitāne. After pākehā colonies took root, much of the bush in Endeavour Inlet was cleared and farms were established. In the early 20th century a reserve consisting of 843 ac ...

Cuspate Foreland
Cuspate forelands, also known as cuspate barriers or nesses in Britain, are geographical features found on coastlines and lakeshores that are created primarily by longshore drift.Craig-Smith, S. J., Cuspate Forelands. In: M. L. Schwartz, ed. 2005. ''Encyclopedia of Coastal Science.'' The Netherlands: Springer, pp. 354–355. Formed by accretion and progradation of sand and shingle, they extend outwards from the shoreline in a triangular shape. Some cuspate forelands may be stabilised by vegetation, while others may migrate down the shoreline. Because some cuspate forelands provide an important habitat for flora and fauna, effective management is required to reduce the impacts from both human activities and physical factors such as climate change and sea level rise. Formation The debate involving how cuspate forelands form is ongoing.McNinch, J. E., and Luettich, R. A., 2000. Physical processes around a cuspate foreland: implications to the evolution and long-term maintenance of ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
