- 2 - protect foreshore from sea (sea wall) and stabalize land behind (concrete underneath)
- £17 million
- high cost benefit analysis although money now cant be spend elsewhere. Places to west affected however sparsely populated
- Potential management
- Little potential with constantly rising sea levels defences with continue to struggle to cope.
- Benefits
- Soft (ABBOTTS HALL FARM)
- Benefits
- Thousands new salt marshes
- new eco-systems
- Pressure reduced from sea wall
- Schemes
- Sustainable approach to blackwater estuary
- sea wall along saltwater onto land
- Managed retreat
- two countr walls to protect neighboring land
- Potential management
- Provides good grounds for future
- Stabalizes other sea defences as trapped sediment = less erosion
