Programme delivery and development Andrew Bradbury
Project progress Survey programme delivery Accountability Programme development Introduction to beach management plan reports
Beach surveys Topographic Good performance most contractors Good performance local authority teams Most sites 6-8 profile surveys loaded to SANDS Raw data – QA checked available on website SANDS profiles available Spot height and ground models in BMP areas
Hydrographic surveys Baselines for open coast now virtually complete Data on website Difficulties with delivery one contractor – largely resolved Hydrographic surveys
LIDAR Good Contractor performance Data received and checked Further surveys planned over winter Data used for preparation of orthophotos
Aerial Survey Delivery difficulties on contract New contract let Quality of data New contract let Programme under review
Tide gauge network Real time links to existing stations National tide gauge network station available in real time Recommissioning sites Deal Pier, Brighton (linked) New stations planned Sandown (imminent), Swanage Long term statistics presented in annual report
Nearshore wave measurement New site Deal Upgrade Milford buoy
Data analysis Data management structure- data management advisory group GIS development Meta data standard Raw data backup Major revisions to SANDS
Analysis of coastal monitoring data Two levels of basic analysis to inform SMP and CDS to inform operational analysis for BMP
Annual report Summary report Easy to use at a glance Minimal text Detail appended on CD Comments on content Positive feedback
Data delivery Requests for various data styles SANDS databases installed FTP, CD, email Web delivery Advice from project team
High level reporting
Training GPS surveying SANDS GIS Local support – lead authority teams
Increasing awareness of programme Consultants workshop Academics workshop Presentations to coastal groups Conference papers and exhibitions

Follow up actions to last annual review Engage EA area teams Recycling records Integration of coastal ecology Certificate of attendance Use of historical data Aerial surveys
Programme modification Changes to reflect policy Increased number of beach management sites Changes to reflect partner needs Localised problems, Whitley lake, Hengistbury, Hill Head
Future development Data management techniques Forward programme Improvements to reporting and analysis Forward programme Review of techniques Best value review Planning phase 2 2007-2112 Programme development Ecology Extension of programme to other regions Links with R&D programmes
