  7. Coastal Defence • Coastal erosion is a huge problem on the Dorset Coast. • If beaches are eroded by longshore drift this will impact tourism and the local economy. • Protection through a combination of hard and soft defences.

  8. The Soft Defence approach. • Beach nourishment program involves importing sand, gravel or shingle from one area and piling it on top of the existing beach material. • Beach nourishment program and beach stabilisation involves planting vegetation on areas such as sand dunes.

  9. The Hard Defence Approach • Involves the construction of major engineering works such as sea walls, groynes and breakwaters. • Groynes are wooden, concrete or rock barriers built at right angles to the sea.
