Abstract : Over the years many studies have been completed on the carrying capacity of specific recreational activities. These studies generally focus on the factors and interactions that are limiting the growth of an area and what barriers need to be removed to allow for this growth. This study looks specifically at the perception of carrying capacity of Gold Coast beaches and the way in which they are used by tourists and locals. For the purpose of this study the definition of Beach Carrying Capacity is the perceived number of people that can fit comfortably on a beach, including the surf zone, before adversely affecting an individual person{u2019}s beach recreation experience and/or the surrounding environment. Beach usage encompasses all activities participated along any adjacent infrastructure including parks and oceanway, sandy beach and surf zone areas including swimming, surfing, walking, sunbaking and picnicking. During the research period a short questionnaire was produced and applied to a range of people along various Gold Coast beaches and within Griffith University. The questionnaire looked at what people used the beach for and how they perceived the crowding on the beaches. Results showed that the carrying capacity on Gold Coast beaches, by the survey respondents{u2019} perceptions, has already been reached on some of the Gold Coast{u2019}s most popular beaches. The study then looked at and compared the results from the Portugal study (da Silva, 2002) to those obtained on the Gold Coast. Results showed that the survey data collected from the two locations does not differ greatly. Perceptions of beach carrying capacity and the general activities people used the beach for were uniform in both study locations. This study highlights the importance of beach monitoring as it allows us to determine what people are using the beach for and how they would like them to be used. The information obtained about how people are using the beaches will provide valuable data to coastal councils and coastal management authorities to help future beach planning and management. Recommendations are made to enhance and continue future beach monitoring research with the use of current beach camera technology such as CoastalCOMS.

The World Health Organization’s recently published Global Report on Drowning found that drowning is the third leading cause of unintentional injury death worldwide—making the information presented in this new book an important part of the global effort to reduce this health risk. Written by leading researchers and academics from around the world, The Science of Beach Lifeguarding focuses on the scientific evidence that underpins what is taught to and practised by beach lifeguards. It is the first book to pull together all the different areas involved in beach lifeguarding and evaluate their evidence base. An accessible and informative reference underpinned by the best current research, the book’s key themes cover the context of beach lifeguarding, the physical environment in which lifeguards work, medical aspects, practical lifeguarding techniques, physiological standards for lifeguards, safety education, and future developments in beach lifeguarding. The book presents groundbreaking work quantifying the scientific rationale behind a universally accepted fitness standard. It supplies an in-depth examination of the risks and hazards associated with the beach environment, including rip currents and cold water immersion. The book includes a state-of-the-art review of drowning and a comprehensive chapter on first aid. Detailing the recently announced 2015 European Resuscitation Council Guidelines, this book is a must-have for beach lifeguards, beach lifeguard managers, search and rescue personnel, paramedics, sports scientists, health and safety practitioners, and occupational health practitioners.

Destinations are a central feature of tourism and the focus of much tourism research. Destinations have been studied from diverse perspectives using multiple concepts and a range of approaches. As a result, destination research today has become increasingly fragmented as studies have become more specialized. There is a need for a more integrated approach, one which systematically draws together these different research threads to provide a comprehensive and coherent picture and a fuller understanding of destinations, their structure and how they function. This book provides such a synthesis by critically reviewing a wide range of international research and incorporating in one volume many different facets of destinations from studies which have appeared in related but often divergent literatures. Conceptual and methodological issues are illustrated with empirical examples from Europe, North and South America, Asia and Oceania.
