COASTAL MANAGEMENT CASE STUDIES

A folder has been loaded onto the AS UNIT 2 file on the G Drive, titled Coastal Management Case Studies. The folder contains a student work pack and pdf copies of published case studies, plus a record of the Isle of Sheppey field work.

 

All students should ensure that the student work pack is completed this week, ready to be handed in on Monday 24 March 14.

AS FIELD WORK ON SHEPPEY

On Monday 10^th March the AS Geography class, together with Mr Wilson, Mr Lumsden and Ms Redsell went to the Isle of Sheppey for a day of fieldwork associated with their work on coastal management. With spectacular Spring good weather the group visited 5 sites along the north coast of the Island to investigate problems of coastal erosion, flooding and the variety of coastal management strategies that have been employed along the coastline.

The students carried out surveys, recorded a range of coastal defence measures and carried out questionnaires with locals and visitors to the island. They even managed to interview a couple who remembered the 1953 floods on the island, which left Sheerness under water!

The pictures below shows the class on the earth bank flood defence near Leysdown.
