Coastal and river defences in the UK

How will these resources help you?

GCSE geography students studying rivers and coasts options, A-level geographers and others need to be able to exemplify their understanding of coastal management with case studies of defence schemes. These resources cover both river and coastal schemes, including hard and soft engineering approaches. They focus on the popular case studies of the Yorkshire coastline around Hornsea and the River Severn. Using these resources will enable teachers and students to go beyond the basics included in textbooks and develop a much deeper understanding of specific management schemes in the UK.
