Coasts: Soft Engineering

This film explores some of the Soft Engineering solutions used in coastal process management. Explore the different ways in which these solutions work, and how they complement natural processes. Earth Science - Geology - Learning Points. Natural processes such as, erosion, flooding and long-shore drift, cause problems for coastal dwellers. Soft engineering offers long-term, relatively inexpensive and sustainable solutions to the natural coastal processes. Beach nourishment and sand dune stabilisation reduce the effects of erosion and longshore drift. Managed realignment is the most cost-effective solution, as it allows the natural process, using the areas effected as beaches and wetland. A Twig Curriculum Film. Delivering key learning points.
