About Coastal Management

GoConqr Original

What this unit covers

The resources on this page look at how coasts are protected, used and managed. Most are mind maps, with flashcard decks, notes and a few quizzes alongside them. They were made by GoConqr users, and the exams they mention include GCSE Geography, A-level Geography, Edexcel AS Geography and AQA Geography.

Start with the basics

Begin with the mind map Coasts, which explains erosion and how hard rock coasts wear away mostly during storms. Then move to Coastal Management Strategies - Hard Engineering and Coastal Management Strategies - Soft Engineering, so you can compare the two approaches side by side. The flashcard decks Coasts Keywords and ICZM help you learn the key terms.

Case studies to work through

Case studies make up much of the page. Here are some ways in:

Lyme regis covers the Dorset coast and the Jurassic Coast.
Soft Engineering - Pevensey Bay, Sussex describes a public/private scheme that protects thousands of properties.
Blackpool (coastal) looks at a hold the line strategy.
Wallasea - Managed Retreat and the Medmerry flashcards cover managed retreat.
The Maldives, Bangladesh and the Netherlands cover coastal flooding.

The notes on Benidorm, Spain, show how a coastal resort's population swells in the summer peak season.

Using quizzes and maps together

Read a mind map first, then test yourself. The quiz Coastal Management at Lyme Regis pairs with the Lyme regis map. Other quizzes cover Essex and an Odisha case study. Note what you get wrong, go back to the matching map or flashcard deck, and try again.

Where it fits

Coastal Management sits in the strand Physical Landscapes and Earth Processes, within Geography. Choose one case study today, then build your own map or flashcards to match it.

Frequently asked questions

Which resource should I open first?

Start with the mind map Coasts for erosion basics, then compare the two Coastal Management Strategies maps, one for hard engineering and one for soft engineering. After that, pick a case study such as Lyme regis or Blackpool (coastal) and test yourself with the Lyme Regis quiz.

Which exams do these resources suit?

Almost all the resources are at secondary level. The listed resources mention GCSE Geography, A-level Geography, Edexcel AS Geography and AQA Geography. Check your own specification to see which case studies your course expects.

Are the resources free to use?

Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users rather than by GoConqr itself, so it is worth checking them against your class notes.

What do the flashcard decks cover?

They include keyword sets such as Coasts Keywords and Crowded Coasts: KEY WORDS, plus case-study decks on the Maldives, Bangladesh, Minehead, Heysham and Medmerry. There are also decks on policy decisions, conflict, and the social and economic pros and cons of management.

Can I make my own resources?

Yes. A free account saves your quiz scores and lets you make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes. That is handy if a case study your teacher set is not listed here.

Are there flooding case studies?

Yes. You can find mind maps on Coastal Flooding in Bangladesh, Netherlands Coastal Flooding, Thames Barrage: Coastal Flooding and Coastal Flooding; 1953 Floods, plus Maldives flashcards and a deck on storm surge events.
