Explain why a range of approaches is needed to manage coastal landscape Flashcards
One reason a range of approaches is needed to manage coastal landscapes is that coastal landscapes erode at differing rates (due to factors such as
geology, lithology and the presence of destructive or constructive waves)
Where rates of erosion are slower and/or e coastline i.e. soft engineering strategies (such as sand dune stabilization or beach
while high rates and importance hard engineering or advance
Another reason is land value
evidence : high value land normally has the policy hold the line e.g national important gas terminal as Easington on the Holderness coastline (which represents 70%of the UK’s total gas storage), of which is protected by £4.5m worth of rock armour.
