Q

What did the results of the bipolar evaluation of the coastal defences demonstrate?

A

For the groynes we gave our opinion on several categories to do with the effectiveness in its role as a coastal defence from -3 to 3. We rated its effectiveness in protection against erosion and ability to hold the line a positive 2 as well as a 2 for its good lifetimes expectancy. However we gave a negative -2 for the fact that it disturbs natural coastal processes and habitats.
