Long shore Drift

The managed section of the beach will be affected more than the unmanaged section from longshore drift and thus cause coastal erosion.

My intentions are to carry out an investigation, which will determine the affects of longshore drift. The investigation itself will be broken into two different parts, these being the affect of longshore drift on a managed section, which has groynes to trap sediment, thus forming a protective beach. I will assess these areas before continuing with any data collection, when we had discovered a managed.

I understand that longshore drift is an important coastal process as it is related to the transportation and deposition of sediment and how either erosion occurs by abrasion or attrition or hydraulic action.

‘How does human management have an affect on the process of longshore drift?’
