- Easington Gas Terminal
- provides 25% of the uks gas
- defended by groynes & revetments
- cost 200,000mpy to defend this area
- Humber estuary
- naturally protects the river
- Hull nearby
- lots of money to move
- Spurn Head will disappear
- Spit moves around all the time
- Klinsea
- 300m lost from no defences
- close to river humber and estuary
