Reference to the overall question
The coastal defences at Dawlish Warren have taken conflicting views into account because ……..
Dawlish Warren is a sand spit situated at the mouth of the River Exe. The spit extends roughly 2500m from the railway line at Dawlish Warren and is an important environmental and tourist resource. To maintain this resource the spit is defended successfully by the use of …….
However, not everyone agrees about how good and successful the coastal defences are at Dawlish Warren. In the past In the future
Don’t forget to cross reference back to your evidence which is the data you collected.

8. Demonstrating the big picture
Conclusion
What natural processes are happening at Dawlish Warren – where is erosion taking place? Is transportation taking place? Where is deposition taking place? What is happening to the position of the spit over time?
What is the purpose of the sea defences?
Explain how the pattern of land use has influenced the choice of sea defences – which are required due to the geomorphic processes?
Why is Dawlish Warren important socially, economically and environmentally?
Cross reference back to photographs, maps and graphs.
Show that you understand that the coastline is dynamic and constantly changing as the sea erodes, transports and deposits material.
Finally answer HOW successful the coastal defences are at Dawlish Warren.
(Can you find many other stretches of coastline in Devon, UK where you can see a range of successful sea defences and is an important stretch of coastline for social, economic and environmental reasons.)

10. How successful are the coastal defences at Dawlish Warren?
Evaluation
Strengths
ICT helped me to carry out and present this study graphs to display information.
The use of digital cameras allowed me to select appropriate photographs which could be clearly annotated
Most groups worked well as a team. I know this because......
The weather was poor for mid June this made it easier to ....
Weaknesses
The distance between Langstone Rock and the end of the spit meant that time was a premium.
We did not have a complete set of data because....
People were reluctant to answer questions.
Opportunities
A larger number of sites could have been used to measure the height of the sediment on either side of the groynes
We could have investigated ....
Threats
Had to rely on other people in my group for the data collection.
The weather was poor for April this made it difficult to ....
The storms of February had damaged ………………..
Swot Analysis could be completed instead.
Do not copy this. Think about what happened on your fieldwork day!

Making reasoned suggestions for extending the investigation:
For this section you have to explain what you would do next. Are there any unanswered questions? Has the work posed some questions? Are there areas of the spit where you could have completed further fieldwork? ? ?
