Case study(ies) of coastal environment(s) at local scale: fundamental coastal processes, landscape outcomes and sustainable management challenges
You need a real, named UK coastal location. You must show how erosion, sediment movement, and deposition have shaped it. You also need to explain the challenges of managing it sustainably.
Real World
At Holderness, East Yorkshire, the village of Skipsea has lost over 30 metres of cliff since 2000; the local council's decision not to defend all sections with hard engineering has forced residents into a managed retreat that splits community opinion sharply.
Exam Focus
'Evaluate' questions require you to weigh strengths against weaknesses of management strategies and reach a supported judgement in your conclusion.
