Coastal Environments - Managing Coastal Environments.

Full lesson covering Coastal Management Strategies. I used this in an A-Level class studying the Coastal Environment advance topic. However, this could easily be adapted for an IGCSE class studying Coasts.

30 slide PPT includes:

• the main aim of coastal management
• sustainable coastal management - economic/environmental/social sustainability
• hard engineering coastal management methods: groynes, sea walls (curved and straight), gabions, revetments, breakwaters.
• soft engineering coastla management methods: beach nourishment, dune regeneration, managed retreat.

Each method includes a description, and information about the relative positives and negatives of each method.

The last 2 slides contain task work.
Task 1: mini-research task where students research extra soft management strategies.
Task 2: example exam question that could be used as a written or a discussion task.

Pack includes a copy of the textbook page required to complete task 1.

Information in this PPT could easily be used to generate further tasks, worksheets etc.
