Abstract

This paper investigated the Correlation of Turbulent Waves from Engine Boats Movement and Shoreline Erosion. Site and laboratory experimentations were used to obtain values of turbulence level and shoreline erosion rate which were used in the computation of their correlation in order to acquire the level of their correspondence with each other. It was found that turbulence and erosion correlates positively and that the effects of turbulence waves generated from boats actions affected the rate of shoreline erosion negatively in both site and laboratory experimentations.
