On October 2nd Lower VIth Geographers joined the Geographers from Salesian College for an exciting day studying coastal processes and managment along the Hampshire coast. We were able to study the formation of the sandspit at Hurst Castle and plant succession in the salt marsh behind the spit.

At Barton on Sea and Naish farm we saw how the sea defences at Bournemouth have starved this area of sedimanet and caused accelerated erosion and cliff slumping.
