@caitlinrgreen Partly the result of longshore drift by the look of it. What timescale is predicted here?
@LandscapeIan 5-10k yrs, tho' that assumes no increase in sea level w/ little sea level rise... If signif rise, then will erode to >

@caitlinrgreen Very interesting, Caitlin. Are they pursuing a 'managed retreat' policy there?
@LandscapeIan I think the term is 'managed realignment', prioritizing what to maintain and what not. But sea-level rise may mean that such >

@caitlinrgreen always been fascinated by spurn point (since we went on a school trip), interesting to see it will still be there, just moved
