A recent paper in NCC claims almost half of the world's beaches will go extinct by 2100 (nature.com/articles/s41558-0…). I was asked to comment on this paper for a Science publication, but after having received my comment, they decided not to pursue to story. I am sharing it here.

Great shot of the #Torcross seawall taken by Peter G using our UAV. Some recovery over summer, but long way to go to cover the foundations.

The weather played ball, making for a very pleasant survey at Slapton yesterday. Nice berm too.

Urgent coastal protection needed, says National Trust - bbc.co.uk/news/science-envir…

Urgent coastal protection needed, says National Trust

The UK is "ignoring known risks of flood and erosion at the coast" and immediate action is needed to manage the threats, the National Trust warns.
