Coastal Management mind maps

Using coastal management mind maps

These community-made maps connect topics through branches, from engineering techniques to coastal flooding and fieldwork. Soft Engineering covers beach nourishment and marsh creation, while Hard Engineering includes structures used to protect coasts. Other maps focus on places, including the Pevensey Bay scheme and coastal flooding in the Netherlands.

Start with Soft Engineering if you want to see how approaches are grouped. Follow each branch and explain its main point in your own words. Then use a hard engineering map to compare the approaches and their details.

From maps to practice

For a place-based example, use Blackpool (coastal) to trace the strategy and the organizations involved. Cover the branches and see what you can recall before checking the map again. When you want a different way to test or prompt your recall, switch to a quiz or flashcards on the Coastal Management unit page.

Choose a branch and see where it leads.
