They revisited key coastal processes, especially longshore drift, and investigated whether the groynes at Dawlish Warren are the most effective coastal management strategy. Students explored a range of coastal defences that help protect vital areas such as the beach, railway line and local businesses, before collecting groyne measurements to analyse back at college.

A huge well done to the students for staying focused, working hard and embracing the challenge — even in the fog! A great day of geography in action!
