For a coastal landscape you have studied, outline the management strategy used.To what extent has this management been successful?
The case study I have chosen is Lyme Regis. Lyme Regis is located in West Dorset on the Jurassic
Coast. A coastal management scheme was needed because sea defences had already been built but
they were failing.
In 2022-2007, £22 million was spent on soft and hard engineering. Soft engineering was used:
shingle was put in place for beach nourishment. Hard engineering was used- a new and improved
sea wall was built.
In 2013-1015, £20 million was spent on extensive cliff nailing and piling (hard engineering) to protect
450 homes for 50 years.
One positive impact of these defences is that Lyme Regis harbour is now protected from the coast.
Another positive impact is that the local economy is booming from increased tourism.
On the other hand, two negative impacts are that traffic congestion and litter has increased and
fossils may not be discovered because landslides had been prevented.
Overall, I think the coastal management scheme, that was used in Lyme Regis, was very successful
because businesses and homes have all been protected.
