Just another WordPress.com site. September 10, 2010. Hot off the Press! Porlock Weir at high tide. There is no sea defence protecting the proprties adjacent to the harbour, only a short wall of about three feet in height. Prior to the interviews, Black and Veatch produced a scenario map showing the areas of Porlock Weir that would be affected by a coastal flood event. This was shown to all interviewees to prompt comments and recommendations for possible corrections. These were all recorded and in...The f...

Community-based Coastal Monitoring | somersetcoast
https://somersetcoast.wordpress.com/2010/09/09/community-based-coastal-monitoring
Just another WordPress.com site. September 9, 2010. One potential coastal monitoring scheme that could be started is one using digital photography. By taking a photo from the same location at the same coastal feature at regular intervals, a clear picture of change can be recorded. This has been done with dramatic results in colder climates:.

Preparing for change | somersetcoast
https://somersetcoast.wordpress.com/2011/06/10/preparing-for-change
Just another WordPress.com site. June 10, 2011. Somerset is no stranger to coastal flooding. Great storms have rolled in time and again, battering the shoreline and the communities who live alongside it. Local residents know only too well the risks involved with living near such a volatile area. Their resilience coupled with their love of the coast helps them to tolerate the occassional squall. However, the scientific censensus is that conditions are to become worse in the coming decades. A bus struggles...

Bleadon Levels | somersetcoast
https://somersetcoast.wordpress.com/2011/06/29/bleadon-levels
Just another WordPress.com site. June 29, 2011. Bleadon Levels saltmarsh. The newly created saltmarsh attracts a wide range of flora and fauna. The masts of yachts sitting at anchor can be seen jutting vertically from the River Axe. In the distance Brean Down rises from the coast. Somerset Levels - 5000 BC. Before the Somerset Levels were drained, tidal waters would have reached far inland. The area is extremely flat and low-laying so seawater would have reached Glastonbury and Langport. Brilliant, innov...

Berrow Sand Dunes | somersetcoast
https://somersetcoast.wordpress.com/2011/08/02/berrow-sand-dunes
Just another WordPress.com site. August 2, 2011. The sand dunes at Berrow beach in Somerset form a vital natural sea defence. They run along the top of the beach for approximately six kilometres and help protect a vast swathe of low-laying and flat landscape; the Somerset Levels. This landscape is a rish and diverse mix of habitats and ecosystems, home to many natural spectacles. It is for this reason that the sand dunes are of utmost importance. Without them the area would be inundated on every spri...

Just another WordPress.com site. August 9, 2011. A problem shared…. Requires the project officer to discuss an emotive and divisive subject; coastal change. The aim is to openly talk about the possibility of someone coming to terms not only with a shoreline they love altering forever, but also the increased chance they will lose their home. This is a challenging task. To help alleviate worry and encourage involvement in the project the key is to listen. Alongside this, we have highlighted the shared natu...
