Abstract:
A study on erosion on beach morphology and sediment characteristics has been done
along the Kuala Abang and Kemasik beach. Each beach was divided into 6 stations
with interval for Kuala Abang is 300m and Kemasik is 500 meter from a station to
another station. Sampling at each study site conducted in twice which was in May
2011 and January 2012. Sampling of beach profile data was carried out from first
vegetation at berm area until low tide area. Sediment analysis was done by collecting
about more than 1 OOg of sediment at high, mid and low tide. The beach morphology
for both study area change dynamically with time. In this study, each of the study
sites shows different result such as mean and beach slope. This shows that which
beach has more undergo process erosion and deposition.
