Coastal Processes and Landforms

Synopsis: Why do novice surfers prefer constructive waves? What happens when you take away a village’s natural sea defences?

The programme brings the subject alive through interviews with surfers, coastal surveyors and environmentalists. Illustrated landforms include: Lulworth Cove, Old Harry, Studland Bay, Sandbanks, Slapton Ley, Hallsands and Portland Bill.
