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.
