Project progress Survey programme delivery Finance Programme development Phase 2 programme

Beach surveys Topographic Good performance most contractors Good performance local authority teams Most sites 8-10 profile surveys loaded to SANDS Raw data – QA checked available on website SANDS profiles available Spot height and ground models in BMP areas

Hydrographic surveys Baselines for open coast now complete Data on website 2nd survey mainly complete (field) Hydrographic surveys

LIDAR Data on website Online browser or download Good Contractor performance Data received and checked Further surveys planned over winter Data on website Online browser or download

Aerial Survey Improved contract performance (new contractor) Delivery improved Orthophotos for 2005 available on website Old data set based on historical control network

Tide gauge network Real time links to existing stations National tide gauge network station available in real time Deal Pier, Brighton (linked) Sandown, Swanage (planned) Herne Bay replacement (planned) Long term statistics presented in annual report

Nearshore wave measurement Deal Sandown Swanage (planned) Milford buoy upgraded to directional Weymouth Bay- (planned)

Data analysis Revisions to SANDS Master profile Design profile Wind rose

Future development Data management techniques Forward programme Improvements to reporting and analysis Forward programme Review of techniques Best value review Planning/procurement phase 2 2007-2112 Programme development Ecology Extension of programme to other regions Links with R&D programmes

Review criteria Feedback from partner operating authorities through annual review meetings and one to one feedback from lead authorities. Feedback from consultant and academic end users through workshops Discussion by project team, project board and South East regional coastal chairmen Comparison with the key performance indicators outlined in the Phase 1 project plan Review of new legislation and national targets

Programme performance review The risk based approach to programme design has been fully implemented during phase 1 The survey programme has been completed to budget, following a delayed start. The programme management structure has been implemented successfully Modifications have been made to national (EA) survey standards and these have been adopted for the programme Common survey briefs have been adopted for surveys Standardised procedures for data management, QA and archiving have been implemented Common data standards have been established, to remove ambiguity and improve accuracy and programme exchange. A data warehouse and meta-database has been established at the Channel Coastal Observatory SANDS databases have been developed and analysed annually, by the Coastal Group analysis teams for each of the coastal cells A website has been developed to deliver all programme data An annual review has been conducted to critique the programme

Proposed Phase 2 Programme Revisions Technical review

Aerial survey No photogrammetric profiling to be conducted Annual production of photographic scans One set of orthophotos to be produced during 5 year period Additional orthophotos to be produced on localised basis at sites where major works have been conducted or major natural change e.g. landslides.

LIDAR Conduct a single high resolution survey of the whole coast, including estuarine areas. Replace photogrammetric elements of the ABMS programme with an annual LIDAR flight to cover inaccessible areas Conduct LIDAR flights of estuarine areas every 3 years

Topographic surveys Baseline surveys BMP sites Post storm surveys 50m profiles Repeat baseline profiles will be used to reassess sampling used for subsequent profile surveys BMP sites Additional sites to be added All sites to be surveyed using ground based survey methods (revision to south downs only) Post storm surveys Unchanged Profile surveys Control Replace missing control and re-observe (estimate 40% existing) Review requirement for aerial survey control

Bathymetry Reduction in bathymetric survey frequency from twice to once during 5 years (year 3 or 4) Inlet mouth surveys to be maintained annually (as present) Low tide range areas to be maintained annually at key sites (as present)

Waves Renewals programme - provision for replacement of existing network. There is a possibility that some gauges will continue to function effectively. New gauges Weymouth Seaford Sandwich

Project management structure Unchanged structure Data management and analysis No Changes Allowance for sands development Allowance for website development Develop online viewer

Ecology (EA lead) Baseline survey for BAP habitats to be completed Data analysis system to be developed for central data archiving at the CCO Data distribution system to be developed for local record centres

Funding and approval Phase 2 scheme approved 100% grant
