Beach Morphology Changes during the Northeast and Southwest Monsoons at Mantanani Besar Island, Sabah (Malaysia)

Mantanani Besar Island is a tourism and island that also has communities and is located in the west coast of Sabah. The island coastline is dominated by sandy beaches that tend to change due to direct exposure from natural phenomenon (waves, wind, current and periodic storm) and anthropogenic activities. The seasonal monsoon (NEM and SWM) is an important factor that intensifies the natural phenomenon leading to major beach changes in a short period of time. Therefore, this study aims to determine the beach morphology changes (profile, width, angle and volume) and to identify short-term beach c... Mehr ...
