- Coastal Management (Spurn Head)
- Protected by; Sea walls, Groynes and Rock Armour
- Cost £2 million for 2 rock groynes
- Cause narrow beaches
- Increased erosion down the coast now at risk of falling into the sea
- Successful locally but cause problems else where
- South more at risk of flooding due to less material
- Risk of being eroded away because of less material
- Bays are turning into headlands which are being eroded more heavily - maintaining the defences is becoming more expensive
