  1. Conflict created by Industry Explain why there is competition for land conflict between different land uses around Southampton Water Explain the impacts that industry has on the coast Explain why salt marshes are so valuable identify the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of Southampton water and the Solent as a location for environmentalists and economic activity Assess the economic, social and environmental impacts of the container port at Dibden Bay

  2. Starter Environmental Impacts of Industry at the Coast

  3. Rias • Drowned or flooded river valleys formed at the end of the last ice age when the glaciers melted

  4. How does this link to Southampton Water? Southampton Water is a Ria! It is part of the estuary of the Rivers Test and Itchen that flow in to the Solent, a stretch of water near the Isle of Wight

  5. Map of Southampton Water

  6. Why is Southampton water suitable for industry? • Sheltered from storms of the English channel • Deep water channel for large ships • Around the estuary there is plenty of flat land which is easy to build on

  7. What pressures are there? • Expansion of suburbs and villages close to the estuary • Industrial development • Sewage disposal • Sailing and leisure usage See OUP on blog/photocopy

  8. Swot Analysis – Environmentalists vs. economic activity

  9. Economic v environmental? • Which is the best way forward for Southampton? • Is it possible these two groups could work together and compromise?

  10. Dibden Bay Container Port

  11. Dibden Bay Container Port • Why is this a good location?  

  12. Dibden Bay • Phillip Allan page 228-229 • Oxford Pages 190-191 • ABP wanted to build a new container port at Dibden Bay, besides Southampton Water. • New deepwater port – 2.1km of docks • Some felt good economic opportunity others feared become huge concrete mass with cranes visible miles away with lots of light and noise pollution

  13. Stakeholders • These are individuals, groups or organisations that have an interest in the development or outcomes of a particular project. They may be involved financially or emotionally

  14. Dibden Bay stakeholders Identify for each stakeholder reasons for their position

  15. Task – Assess the main effects of the Dibden Bay proposal

  16. Plenary • In 2004, the Transport Secretary announced that the scheme had not been given planning permission because it was felt that potential environmental damage was greater than economic benefits. • Do you think this was the right decision?

  17. Homework Referring to a stretch of coast that you have studied, explain how and why some coasts are under threat from economic development. (10 marks) See separate mark scheme
