an average. It was sunny and a really nice day the day we did our fieldwork although as I have previously said there was a storm that slightly disrupted the processes of this area.
Cley
If there wasn’t his storm or if there was another storm the day before we went I think that the results would be different also this pushed the stones up the beach and created an extra berm that is shown on my graph. The weather is obviously a heavy contributing factor and one that definitely affected my final results. The weather could have been different on another day and this would have swayed our results. When using the transect there was obviously room for operator error and wrong readings. This could have been with how far every reading was taken away from the last one or it could be with whether the transect was held up straight. The fishermen would also have an affect on this part of the coast. They would have a small affect on the ecosystem and they would also want this part of the coast to be protected.
Overstrand
At Overstrand if there was a rainy day then more water was stuck in the clay. This means that more slumping could have taken place and broken some of the coastal defences. There were also some finer details that were lost when creating a sketch map or writing down a part of what Mr Merret said. We could have asked a local group about the protection of this area and their thoughts about how they could protect this area.
Overall I think this has been a successful project with accurate results and I am pleased that I have completed this assessment.
