	Fetch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In geography fetch is a term for the length of water over which a given wind has blown.
		In oceanography fetch is a term for the length of water over which a given wind has blown.
		Fetch is a game played between a human and a pet in which the human throws an object for the pet to catch and/or retrieve.

	Station Information - Fetch
		Fetch is simply the length of water over which the wind has blown.
		It is used in geography and is usually associated with coastal erosion.
		It fetches instructions from a memory or cache and feeds them to the rest of the pipeline.

	Wave Basics (Stormsurf)
		An interesting point to consider, as the winds in a fetch start to die, say from 50 kts down to 40 kts, they can't add any additional energy to the raw swell produced when the winds were at 50 kts.
		Previously 'fetch' was defined as the amount/distance of ocean surface area affected by winds blowing in the same direction.
		When the fetch travels directly at a beach at just the right speed such that the swell it generates over multiple 12 hour intervals arrives a nearly the same time for a given frequency (period), then we call the fetch a 'virtual fetch'.

		A number of conceptual models of beach/dune interaction have been proposed, with varying emphases on the relative significance of controls such as wave climate, beach form, sediment budget and sea level change and there is general agreement that the rate at which sand is supplied from the beach is a significant control on foredune development.
		Although we have made a lot of progress in characterising and modelling the aeolian transport process for relatively simple conditions, application of these models to many beaches is problematic because of the effects of variations in form, moisture content, lag development and beach fetch (controlled by beach width and wind angle).
		An important aspect is to determine the nature of the fetch effect function - the relationship between sand transport rate for a given wind speed and distance downwind from an erodible boundary (e.g.

		WASHINGTON – A clever border collie that can fetch at least 200 objects by name may be living proof that dogs truly understand human language, German scientists reported Thursday.
		The dog, named Rico, can fetch a newly introduced object when asked, even if he has never heard the name of the object before, the researchers say.
		When they put a new object into a room filled with old objects, Rico was able to fetch it 7 out of 10 times, evidently figuring out that the new word he was given must refer to the new object.

	Geography of Fishing in British Honduras and Adjacent Coastal Waters, Belize History- History of Ambergris Caye, Belize
		Aspects of the cultural geography of fishing are presented with emphasis on historical development and the contemporary distributions of practices established on islands adjacent to an extensive barrier reef.
		Fishing grounds are located near this reef in a shallow water environment that is relatively uniform throughout the northern half of the study area.
		It is instrumental in the development of oceanic currents, and blowing over a long, uninterrupted fetch, generates heavy seas that break virtually unimpeded on the protective barrier reef.

		The enormous amount of open water between America and the British Isles enables the waves to gain great power during their long fetch from the south-west.
		A wave rolls up the beach diagonally from the south-west (the direction of the fetch and wave attack), and takes the pebble with it.
		The property on the top of the cliffs — mainly holiday chalets — is relatively low-value, and the management strategy adopted here is simply to pick them up and move them backwards when they get within an unsafe distance of the clifftop.

	COASTAL EROSION
		Wave steepness; Waves that are created nearer the coast are steeper and thus have more energy, whereas swell, which is created kilometres offshore, have less energy, and thus less erosive capabilities.
		Depth of sea, length and direction of fetch, configuration of coastline: The more steep the shelving of the beach is the higher and steeper the waves created.
		The longer the fetch, the more time the wave has to collect energy from the wind, hence the more energetic the wave.

		Longshore transport of sand by wave action is perhaps the most important process shaping the shoreline of beaches.
		Longshore sand movement depends on the direction that waves approach the beach and the amount of wave energy.
		(Wave energy is a function of wavelength, wave frequency, and wave height; this energy is derived from wind drag on the oceans surface and is a function of wind speed, duration, and fetch.

	How waves work explanation of swell generation, propagation, bathmetry and more! - SURFSIZENOW.COM
		This swell travels across the open ocean, and as it does so, the wind continues to transfer energy into the surface of the water.
		The distance over which this process takes effect is known as fetch.
		The distance of fetch is an important variable in the generation of waves, as it is largely responsible for the amount of invisible energy that is being transfered in the swell.
