“In this paper, we map the distribution of these river groynes using remote sensing and drone survey.” onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ge… #OpenAccess Prof Alice Roberts💙 #NileValley
Joe Hughes Andrew Bentley Douglas Councillor Agree it’s a long shoreline & was always a task to maintain but it always was because we had many businesses relying on those tourists. An argument over groynes efficacy is now irrelevant as it’s basically a run down non priority for £ & DBC maintenance let’s be honest about it.
Andrew Bentley Douglas Councillor When the Victorians discovered swimming & the beach Douglas prospered & grew as a destination, from then the beach had to be maintained, regularly dredged of seaweed & re landscaped to keep the sand in situ, the groynes were built to help & assist with that maintenance.
Joe Hughes Andrew Bentley Douglas Councillor Well exactly, be honest, there’s no £.
The fact that Douglas beach is a former shadow of what it use to be is the point.
But strangely the groynes seem significant in DBC’s defence of it’s state now, their absence makes no difference. No maybe not but neither do you.
Claire Osborn Dr Rachel Pope I thought this was just me. We often go new forest way which is mc by default but Bournemouth is very different again, even within half a mile. Perhaps they hang trainers on the groynes to mark the boundary
Harry Woodgate {they/them} 🐝 Andersen Press little bee books That has the makings of a cosy mystery series; the artist cum baker moves to a small seaside town and discovers murder/mystery between the groynes.
I walked through #Eastbourne 's Old Town last week & photographed art & antiquities on the route. There's a Seahenge type structure of old groynes, a historic Celtic cross that might have been a megalith, & Neptune making a rude gesture. I've blogged. badwitch.co.uk/2023/05/walkin…
