- Barton-on-Sea and Bournemouth
- Management Strategy
- Drain pipes built into cliff between layers of clay reduces build up of water
- Rock armour groynes reduce loss of beach. Wide beach reduces coastal erosion
- Effects and conflicts
- Increased beach size is good for tourism in Bournemouth.
- Reduced sediment supply to East, Less beach at Barton.
- Conflict between council and other groups as defences may not be cost-effective.
- Reasons for management
- buildings increase weight on cliffs
- buildings interfere with drainage
- prevailing wind- SW wind, hits coast directly
- waves have long fetch so very powerful
- rock layers- permeable rocks lay on top of impermeable clay
- water builds up within cliffs -> increased weight on cliffs -> collapse
- Management Strategy
