Welcome
to poolebay.net
The whole of
Poole Bay from Sandbanks to Hengistbury Head is an eroding coastline
and the standard of coast protection & flood
defence depends mainly on the level and width of its
beaches.
The natural supply of beach material, from cliff
erosion, ceased with the construction of seawalls and it is now
necessary to replace sand lost to the wind and waves, or to repair,
replace or add to
existing beach
control structures to safeguard beachfront and cliff-top property
and infrastructure.
Current and past coast protection project
details are recorded at this website for the information of local
residents and students.
