Loss of embedded sediment associated with the removal of Syringodium filiforme deposits on the beaches of the Dominican Republic: geomorphological implications
This study analyzes the sediment loss associated with the removal of Syringodium filiforme berms from 10 beaches in the Dominican Republic. The results show that approximately 63.8% of the removed volume corresponds to interspersed sediment. This type of management has a continuous morphological impact, affecting the stability of the system's sediment balance.

- Purpose
- The objective of this study is, generically, to provide data and knowledge to: Facilitate the management of the first miles of sea, continuously land-sea. This includes the comprehensive management of beaches, equipment and furniture, cleaning and dune areas; Develop any activity that has an impact on the coastal area; Carry out urban and territorial planning studies, for the design and assessment of the environmental impact of infrastructures, etc.; Evaluate the dynamics of sand movements in both the emerged and submerged parts of the beaches, in order to predict the effects of their evolution on management and planning, as well as promote studies on the general dynamics and generalized evolution of sand; Know the evolution of the coastline and the managed surface; Provide information that contributes to promoting actions and projects to improve adaptive capacity in the face of the impacts of climate change; Facilitate knowledge, by the public administration, the scientific world and the public, of the morphology of the coast. Specifically, the study proposes to: Quantify the sediment content of the Syringodium filiforme berms removed from the beaches of the Dominican Republic and assess their geomorphological impacts.
