How do you do beach profiling?
- Person A stands at a safe distance from the edge of the sea holding a ranging pole.
- Person B stands holding a second ranging pole further up the beach where there is a break of slope.
- The distance between the two ranging poles is measured using a tape measure.
Where do you start a beach profile transect?
Your transect should run from the shoreline (mean low tide level) to a pre- determined location, such as a certain number of meters onshore or to the vegetation line. However, you may have to start your transect at a higher water line depending on the tide and water conditions.
