CoPraNet: Coastal Geomorphology and coastal change in Dundrum Bay: management implications
Type of Entry:
Case Study
Description:
This report sets out to describe the coastal morphology of Dundrum Bay and to assess historical changes in the shoreline and nearshore in the context of future management options for the area. The report is intended to summarise existing geomorphological knowledge and to explore the implications for management. It does not claim to be a comprehensive assessment, but rather sets management dilemmas against the current state of knowledge. A number of options are outlined and suggestions for further research necessary for a variety of management strategies are set out in the text.
