BRMS -a coastal manager's tool

摘要

Much of our coastline along the southern and eastern coasts of England is either man made or artificially maintained. This is a legacy of previous centuries where the dynamic nature of the coastline was not appreciated. Development has been permitted right up to the shoreline and when the shore has eroded the response has been to build coast protection structures such as the seawalls and timber groynes that characterise many of our seaside resorts.
