How has human activity affected the dunes at Camber? Introduction Location – Where are the dunes? What is their area? What land uses are around them? Use annotated OS maps 1:25 000, 1:10 000, and aerial photo. Formation – What is the source of the sand? Why is it deposited at Camber? What factors are required for coastal dune formation?
