1.3.4 Coastal Management
In this lesson, we will explore different management strategies used to safeguard coastlines in the UK. We will examine the costs and benefits of hard engineering (e.g., sea walls, rock armour, gabions, and groynes), soft engineering (e.g., beach nourishment and reprofiling, dune regeneration), and managed retreat (e.g., coastal realignment).
