2. COAST OR BAYBAYIN
is part of the land near the sea. Contains some of the worlds
sensitive and threatened ecosystem such as mangroves, beach
forests, seagrass, and coral reefs.
3. MARINE SYSTEM
are the largest of Earth’s aquatic ecosystem. Includes
nearshore systems and extends outward from the coast
to include offshore system.
4. COASTAL PROCESSES
are events happening in the marine environment.
Includes waves, tides, sea level change, crustal movement
and storm surge.
5. COASTAL HAZARDS
caused by different coastal processes that expose marine
environment to risk of property damage, loss of life, and
ecological degradation.
8. SUBMERSION
movement of coastal sediments from the visible portion
of a beach to the submerged nearshore region of the
coast.
9. SALTWATER INTRUSION
is the movement of saltwater into the freshwater
aquifier.
Aquifier is an underground layer of permeable rock, gravel, sand, or silt.
12. MITIGATION METHOD
Maintaining plant cover- results to improved vegetation
Monitoring and assessment- ensures effective management
of case
Regulation of Laws
Artificial Recharge- pumps water to aquifier
13. MITIGATION METHOD
Engineering Structures
Jetties- prevent coastal erosion by promoting beach build-
up as they trap sand.
Groins/Stone Barriers - keeps sand from eroding
Breakwaters - constructed along coasts to prevent further
advancement of saltwater.
14. MITIGATION METHOD
Beach Nourishment - large amount of sand is added to the
coast.
Installation of small walls and sandbags- used to counteract
waves hitting the shore
Beach dewatering - involves pumping out water from the
shore to prevent erosion
Ban of mining activities - can cause decrease pollutans
15. HYDROMETEOROLOGICAL HAZARD
is a condition or an event that may cause harm to property
and life as a result of a hydrometeorological process such as
tropical cyclone, monsoon, flood, and ipo-ipo.
16. TROPICAL CYCLONE
is a rapidly rotating low-pressure system that forms over
tropical oceans. It is called typhoon in the Philippines. The
typhoons entering the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR)
are given a local name by the Philippine Atmospheric,
Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration
(PAGASA).
17. TROPICAL CYCLONE HAZARDS
• A flood is an overflow of water over a normally dry land.
Due to heavy rainfall brought by a typhoon, the water
levels in dams and rivers increase. The water then
overflows to nearby land areas.
• A strong sustained wind is often brought by a typhoon. It
can damage or destroy vehicles, buildings, bridges, fields,
and plantations.
18. TROPICAL CYCLONE HAZARDS
• A landslide is the movement of a mass of rocks, soil, and
debris down a slope. It can be triggered by heavy rainfall.
• A storm surge is an abnormal rise of sea water due to a
typhoon. It is created when water is being pushed toward
the shore by the force of the winds moving in a circular
manner. It ravages beaches and coastal areas.
19. MOONSOONS
• Heavy rainfall and strong wind can damage residential
and industrial buildings. It can also destroy agricultural
crops.
• A landslide may happen when the soil becomes saturated
with water due to heavy rainfall. The soil and rocks from
the slope can move down and destroy many properties
along the way.
20. MOONSOONS
• A flood may occur due to heavy rainfall that saturates the
soil and causes an overflow of water to dry land areas.
21. IPO-IPO
The strong whirling wind can lift and hurl objects it
encounters no matter how heavy the object is. It causes
destruction of houses, buildings, dams, and bridges. The
lifted objects may also cause injuries and death upon impact.
