Shoreline management plans are conventionally organised around

  • A.sediment cells rather than administrative boundaries
  • B.county and district boundaries as they currently stand
  • C.the boundaries of individual landowners along the coast
  • D.the extent of each separate engineering contract

Answer: A

Correct answer: sediment cells rather than administrative boundaries

Sediment moves along the coast within cells bounded by headlands or other natural barriers, and what is done at one point affects the frontage downdrift within the same cell. Planning by council boundary would cut across those links and allow one authority to solve its problem at another’s expense, which is precisely what the cell-based approach exists to prevent.
