Review of 2013/14

Topographic surveys 31 post-storm surveys conducted over winter 2013/14

Wider use of laser scanning….

Swath bathymetry surveys

Lidar surveys 2013/14 Complete coverage of SE, mostly to MLWS No areas completely signed off yet (7 of 12 polygons returned to Geomatics for corrections, remainder still under-going QC)

Lidar2013/14 Considerable amount of quality-control needed

Aerial surveys (2013)

Waves, tides and met New tide gauge and met station on Arun Platform (some set-up problems) Arun Youth Sailing Centre very glad….

Potential revisions for Phase IV

Topographic surveys Review change per profile over time (10 years +) Reduce survey frequency if little change? Move to lidar for un-managed frontages? Review schedule in light of new technology (laser scanning)?

Criteria for potential revision of survey regime Is beach a BMP site? Up/downdrift of a BMP site? Backed by soft cliffs or dunes? Erosion hot-spot or structures present?

Derivation of “hot spots”
