Abstract: | |||||
The present study attempts a comprehensive environmental
analysis of a 40km section of the East Anglian Coast between
Winterton in Norfolk and Benacre in Suffolk. Changes along
this section and the sediment volumes concerned are estimated
by the use of maps and charts are used to study the offshore
change.
The results of wave data gathered over a twelve month period
at the shoreline are discussed and compared with data gathered -
outside the sand banks. Longshore wave energy values are
related to wind data for the ten year period 1963-1972. Sediment
movement is discussed in the light of tracer experiments conducted
both on the beach and in the offshore zone. A wave refraction
analysis by computer is related to accretion and erosion at the
shoreline. Tidal current data are also analysed for the offshore
region and related to the current data for the whole of the East
Anglian Coast.
