  • physical: how successful are groynes in controlling longshore drift in hunstanton?
  • measured both each side of the groynes from the sand to the top of the groyne with a ruler
  • systematic and stratified sampling as both wooden and rock groynes were measured
  • the side of the groyne with the most sand shows us the direction of longshore drift, as sand has been trapped
  • stone groynes were more successful than the wooden groynes at controlling longshore drift
  • to improve - measure 5 points on each groyne and complete at different times of the year to compare
