Coastal sediment transport (a subset of sediment transport) is the interaction of coastal land forms to various complex interactions of physical processes. [1] [2] The primary agent in coastal sediment transport is wave activity (see Wind wave), followed by tides and storm surge (see Tide and Storm surge), and near shore currents (see Sea#Currents) .

Sediment transportation and coastal erosion is a complex subject that is necessary to understand to protect infrastructure and the environment. [70] Coastal erosion is the process of sediment and materials breaking down and transported due to the effects of the sea . [ 71 ]
The sediments entrained in a flow can be transported along the bed as bed load in the form of sliding and rolling grains, or in suspension as suspended load advected by the main flow. [16] Some sediment materials may also come from the upstream reaches and be carried downstream in the form of wash load .
Marine sediment, or ocean sediment, or seafloor sediment, are deposits of insoluble particles that have accumulated on the seafloor.These particles either have their origins in soil and rocks and have been transported from the land to the sea, mainly by rivers but also by dust carried by wind and by the flow of glaciers into the sea, or they are biogenic deposits from marine organisms or from ...
On land most phosphorus is found in rocks and minerals. Phosphorus-rich deposits have generally formed in the ocean or from guano, and over time, geologic processes bring ocean sediments to land. Weathering of rocks and minerals release phosphorus in a soluble form where it is taken up by plants, and it is transformed into organic compounds.
Calcareous sediment in the ocean. Calcareous sediments are more common in the deep ocean, comprising about half of its surface area. [4] However, the deepest parts of the ocean are dominated by abyssal clay instead. Calcareous debris are mostly composed of forminiferal ooze and make about almost 50% of sediments on the seafloor.
A group of recyclers in the Philippines is trying to ease the country's worsening plastic waste crisis by turning bottles, single-use sachets and snack food wrappers that clog rivers and spoil ...
The Philippines, having ratified the Convention on International Civil Aviation on March 1, 1947 [2] and being one of the 188 Contracting States (as of June 2002) of the ICAO, is bound to comply with the international standards of safeguarding civil aviation against acts of unlawful interference, including global terrorism. Specifically stated ...
