17
Q

Why is hard engineering successful?

A

Can protect houses (Cobb hill prevented from landslides in Lyme Regis)
Can protect the environment (Netherlands)
Can protect vulnerable communities near the coast (Portballintrae)

18
Q

Beach nourishment

A

Replace sediment that is lost through erosion
Builds up the beach
Dissipates wave energy

19
Q

Cliff stablisation

A

Regrading the cliff
Adding vegetation to trap sediment

20
Q

Dune stabilization

A

Replanting marram grass
Stabilizes bare sand

21
Q

Ecological enhancement

A

Encouraging species to grow on rocks
Adding moisture
Reduce weathering

Dorset

22
Q

Maldives management

A

Building mangroves, absorb wave energy, reduce erosion
Subsidies for farmers, they can grow new organic crops

23
Q

French Polynesia physical geography risk

A

Sea level rise (eustatic)
Coral bleaching
Isolated

24
Q

Economy of French Polynesia

A

Flyfishing, bone fish, in warm water
Pearl producers
Coconut producers

25
What is the management plans in French Polynesia?
Moving to new Zealand, due to sea level rise Developing economy, keep young skilled workers Food security improvements
26
Why is Trinidad and Tobago at a physical risk from coastal recesssion?
Low lying SLR 70% of people work on the coast High swell waves (wind generated) Winds from the north east (high rates of erosion in coco bay) Coastal flooding Sedimentary rock
27
What are the losses in Trinidad and Tobago? (Economic and social)
Economic 400,000 tourists Luxury beach houses in Mayaro Manzanillo beach destroyed from flooding 5 million in losses Dependent on petrochemical industry which is at risk due to coastal erosion where the pipelines are located Social Loss of coco plantations Loss of livelihoods Manzanillo flooding destroyed roads (prevents tourism and access to petrochemical industry) House prices are going to fall Manzanillo beach is disrupted
28
Environmental losses in Trinidad and Tobago?
Nesting sites of turtles destroyed Ecotourism industry at risk
29
Costs of flooding in the Netherlands
1800 deaths 40,000 buildings damaged 10,000 buildings destroyed 10% of farmland flooded
30
Charecteristics of ICZM
The entire coast is managed People are considered The management is sustainable
31
ICZM in the Medditeranean
Expanded over 22 coastal zones Splits up the littoral cells Conserving natural resources Controlling pollution Controls the alteration of the coastline Rehabilitating degraded resources
32
Issues with ICZM
They don't consider the needs of local people Local people may still alter the environment as this may be necessary for growth or livelihoods
33
No active intervention
Doing nothing
34
Strategic alignment
Allow the coastline to move Manage it so it moves in a certain direction
35
Hold the line
Build coastal defences so that the shoreline stays in the same position over time
36
Advance the line
Build new coastal defences
37
CBA
Used to understand if defending a coastline is economically justifiable
38
EIA
Short term and long term impacts on the environment as a result of management
39
EIA in Slapton
They have endangered species and habitates in Torcross and Strete Need to sustain the shingle ridge fresh water lagoon They have used hold the line here, to prevent the coastline from retreating backwards
40
Why does Slapton need to be managed?
Need to protect A379, as it is a transport route to Dartmouth Tourism industry Torcross and beesands have high value assets
41
Costs of management in Slapton
£300,000 to align £50,000 to maintain Road closures will disrupt the tourism industry
42
What existing defenses are in Slapton?
Concrete sea wall Torcross sea wall Beach replenishment
