Bournemouth

• Reasons for management:

  > Coastline would erode at a metre a year

  > Beach is important for tourism (Makes £413 million from tourism)

  > Current grounds not effective at stopping longshore drift

  > 3114 home at risk from collapsing cliffs
• Measures taken:

  > 3 phases costing £50 million

  > replace 53 groynes

  > 3 lots of replenishment, 5 years apart
• Positive resulting effects:

  > Beaches = increase in tourism = 9000 jobs
• Negative resulting effects:

  > Conflict: locals vs construction

  > Conflict: residents want safety vs area look good for tourists

  > Starves Barton-On-Sea of sediment, casing more erosion

  > Groynes only last 25 years
