How do groynes work?
Groynes trap the sand which is carried along the coast by
longshore drift.
The sand acts as a natural protection against the force of the
waves. The waves break on the beach and not the cliffs.
How can the coastline be protected?
Hard engineering techniques aim to stop coastal processes
from occurring. Soft engineering methods try to work with
nature to protect the coast.
What has been done to protect coastal areas?
Match the correct protection method to its purpose!

Mappleton is located In 1991 a rock revetment and
on the Holderness two rock groynes were built.
Coastline. Sand accumulated and halted
erosion.
South of Mappleton the rate of
erosion has increased
significantly.
Material that usually moves
south via longshore drift is
becoming trapped within the
groynes.
Now there is no beach to
protect the cliffs - the sea
reaches the base of the soft cliffs
and erosion occurs.

What is the best method of coastal protection?
This is the imaginary coastal town of ‘Seaview’. Seaview
has been suffering from coastal erosion for the last 15
years since the nearby larger town of ‘Engleton’ had
groynes built to protect its own coastline.
What is the best method of coastal protection?
There are strong feelings about what should be done
to protect Seaview!
What is the best method of coastal protection?
Give each scheme a score from 1 (poor) to 5 (good). For
example, an expensive scheme should have a low score.
Would you choose the scheme with the highest score? Why?
Which is the most important criteria?
