Q

hard engineering

how do recurved sea walls work

A

use the shape of a wave to direct the water into the following wave, so reducing wave energy

62
Q

hard engineering

how do stepped sea walls work

A

use the pointed edges to break up a wave as it hits the wall, so wave energy is dissipated

63
Q

hard engineering

what are the advantages of sea walls

A
  • made of durable concrete to absorb wave energy
  • give people confidence & a sense of security
64
Q

hard engineering

what are the disadvantages of sea walls

A
  • most expensive of all sea defences (about £5000 per linear m)
  • unsightly & unnatural
  • greatly reduced the supply of sediments, which may affect other coastal areas nearby
65
Q

hard engineering

what is rip rap

A

boulders (usually granite) or especially designed concrete shapes (tetrahedrons)

66
Q

hard engineering

how does rip rap defend the coast

A
  • rip rap is resistant to erosion & has a large surface area,
  • that breaks up waves, dissipating their energy
67
Q

hard engineering

rip rap can also be used to….

A

hold back mass movement on an unstable cliff

68
Q

hard engineering

what is an advantage of rip rap

A
  • can be placed at susceptible points on the backshore, to protect the base of the sea wall
  • long lasting
69
Q

hard engineering

what are the disadvantages of rip rap

A
  • seawater may still move through it, so some weathering & erosion may occur on the backshore
  • can contrast with local geology
70
Q

hard engineering

what are revetments

A
  • sloped walls often made of wood
  • placed parallel to the backshore
  • but a short distance in front of it
71
Q

hard engineering

how do revetments work

A
  • they are able to take the force of breaking waves,
  • so they weaken their erosive strength & protect the backshore
72
Q

hard engineering

what are the advantages of revetments

A
  • trap beach sediments behind them, reducing its removal by backwash or LSD (LSD can continue)
  • slightly cheaper than sea walls
73
Q

hard engineering

what are the disadvantages of revetments

A
  • require constant maintenance as the wood can be abraded by powerful waves
  • look unsightly, especially if they stretch several kilometres along a coast
74
Q

hard engineering

what are offshore breakwaters

A
  • rock boulders (usually granite) which are dropped & aligned
  • in short lengths in shallow nearshore waters
  • parallel to the shore
75
Q

hard engineering

how do offshore breakwaters work

A
  • their purpose is to absorb wave energy & disspate waves
  • before they have a chance to damage the foreshore or the backshore,
  • they allows LSD to continue behind them
76
Q

hard engineering

what are the advantages of offshore breakwaters

A
  • create sheltered areas for recreation & tourism
  • can be used to protect the entrance to harbours, creating calmer waters for safe entry or exit
77
Q

hard engineering

what are the disadvantages of offshore breakwaters

A
  • can cost between £1-2 million
  • may increase deposition on the landward side, reducing LSD
  • may need other coastal engineering to complement them e.g sea walls in gaps
78
Q

hard engineering

what are gabions

A
  • these are pebbles in wire baskets,
  • which when tied together make a wall
  • where the great surface area absorbs wave energy & breaks up waves
79
Q

hard engineering

what are the advantages of gabions

A
  • flexible in terms of the placement, so can act as an additional defence above a sea wall or to hold back mass movement
  • relatively cheap & easy to maintain
80
Q

hard engineering

what are the disadvantages of gabions

A

-not very strong, not suitable for high energy locations

81
Q

soft engineering

what is beach nourishment

A

replaces beach sediment that may have been eroded or transported by LSD

82
Q

soft engineering

how does beach nourishment work

A

a large beach will absorb wave energy & protect the backshore from erosion

83
Q

soft engineering

what are the advantages of beach nourishment

A

-uses natural sediments, so the beach looks natural, providing amenity value for recreation and tourism

84
Q

soft engineering

what are the disadvantages of beach nourishment

A
  • doesn’t last long, needs to be frequently replaced, especially under winter storms conditions
  • sediments may have been dredged from offshore, so changing sediment cell balances & deepening the water, so that waves may approach the shore withmuch more destructive energy
85
Q

soft engineering

what is cliff degrading

A
  • the lithology of a cliff may be unstable & prone to sudden collapse,
  • so to remove this uncertainty engineers calculate a stable slope angle based on the rock characteristics
  • the cliff slope is then artificially back to the stable angle
86
Q

soft engineering

what are the advantages of cliff degrading

A
  • brings some uncertainty & confidence to propery owners close to the cliff edge
  • & reduces risk of sudden loss of property
87
Q

soft engineering

what are the disadvantages of cliff degrading

A
  • cost about £1million
  • engineers may get their calculations wrong, or extreme natural conditions may overwhem their changes
  • stabilisation measures such as cliff drainage & vegetation planting is also needed
88
Q

soft engineering

where can cliff drainage be implemented

A
  • where the cliff lithology consists of a permeable layer above the impermeable layer,
  • it may be unstable after rainfall due to poor pressure
89
Q

soft engineering

how does cliff drainage work

A
  • to reduce this pressure & reduce mass movement,
  • drains with gravel can be inserted into the cliffs to drain water out quickly
90
Q

soft engineering

what are the advantages of cliff drainage

A

-looks natural once completed, as engineering is not generally visible
-reduces mass movement, bringing confidence to residents

91
Q

soft engineering

what are the disadvantages of cliff drainage

A

-will not prevent mass movement, only reduces it to some extent

92
Q

soft engineering

dunes can provide…

A

dunes can provide a natural barrier to sea level rise & storm waves, but are fragile

93
Q

soft engineering

what are the advantages of dune stabilisation

A

-provide natural ecosystems
-effective barrier to higher sea levels & tides

94
Q

soft engineering

what are the disadvantages of dune stabilisation

A

amenity value may be reduced during the short term in maintenance/work

95
Q

soft engineering

what is managed retreat

A
  • where it is accepted that there is little that can be done to stop high sea levels changing the coast,
  • areas can be allowed for the sea to flood or erode
96
Q

soft engineering

give examples of how managed retreat can operate

A
  • fomer salt marshes that are now farmland may be allowed to flood again
  • buffer zones next to eroding cliffs can be created so that no valuable property is lost
97
Q

soft engineering

advantages of managed retreat

A

-can extend current ecosystems

98
Q

soft engineering

disadvantages of managed retreat

A
  • does not prevent land being lost & may only be a medium-term solution, depending on the rate of sea level rise
99

A

long
future threats such as sea level rise & storm surges

102
Q

how might sustainable management cause conflict

A

when the wishes of local people who may lose their land, home, job & sense of community & feel that there is no social justice

103
Q

In the past, how was coastal management carried out

A
  • it had been the job of local councils
  • sea defences were built in isolation with no consideration of how defences in one place might affect others, leading to problems & conflict
104
Q

Today, how is coastal management carried out

A
  • coasts are managed in a more holistic way using Intergrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM)
105
Q

Each sediment cell is broken into ……. & SMPs devise plans that apply to…

A
  1. small sub-cells
  2. the whole stretch of the coast within a cell
107
Q

What are the good qualities of Intergrated Coastal Zone Management

A
  • complete sections of coasts are being protected as a whole - rather than individuals villages & towns
