2. Homework: due next lesson.
Complete the exam question.

3. Large image
Last lesson you examined strategies used for managing coastal erosion and the different viewpoints of stakeholders on the coast. You also identified that defending certain sections of coastline can lead to a worsening of erosion further along the coast. This lesson will examine current ways that councils use to manage an entire coastline rather than individual parts of it. The lesson will continue preparation for the Swanage field visit.

4. Coming up
All pupils can explain different choices councils have in deciding coastal management strategies.
All pupils will plan how to manage a section of the Norfolk coast.
All pupils will have a case study of the Norfolk coast.

5. Vocabulary
Hold the line
Advance the line
Strategic retreat
Do nothing

6. To start Suggest problems these coastal defences may cause Sea wall
Groyne
Rip / rap
Gabions
Revetments
Beach replenishment
Do nothing

7. What can the local council do with a coast at risk of erosion?
Local councils are responsible for managing the coastline. Most defences are paid for by local councils out of money collected from council tax payers. Some money might be available from the government.
The local council has four options when deciding how to manage a coastline that is eroding:
Hold the line
Advance the line
Strategic retreat
Do nothing

8. Task: Match the options with their definitions.
Take no action at all and let the coast erode.
Hold the line
Advance the line
Strategic retreat
Do nothing
Use sea defences to stop erosion and keep the coast line in its current position.
Use sea defences to move the coast further out to sea.
Gradually let the coast erode and move people away from areas at risk of collapse. Some people may receive compensation for having to leave their homes or businesses.

10. Task: How would you manage this part of the Norfolk coastline?
Work in groups to describe and explain which options you would use along this coastline.
The Bacton Gas Terminal is a large gas terminal supplying gas to 30% of the UK as well as large parts of Belgium and the Netherlands
Mundesley: a pretty village with a of around 2,500. It is a mixture of good farmland and a popular seaside resort.
Walcott: a small village of approximately 600 people. It already has some sea defences.
Happisburgh: a small village of approximately 600 people

11. Task: Using page 86 annotate your diagram to show what Norfolk Council plan to do.

12. Task: Explain why Norfolk council has decided to manage the coastline in this way.
