2. SWRCMP Progress Report and Programme Developments
Simon Humphry
Teignbridge District Council
Good Morning
overview of the progress and proposals for the next 5 year phase

3. Contracts awarded to date
Contracts awarded this year are:
Aerial Photography 2013/14 ( 1 year contract)
Single Beam Survey of the Teign
Contracts Still to be awarded
Trial area for Habitat Mapping (2013/2014)
Full habitat mapping 2014/2015
Further Bathymetric surveys programmed for 2013/2014

4. Wave Buoy and Tide Gauge Network
Proposal for the next stage is to keep the network as it
No scientific justification to increase the number of wave buoys at present.

5. Wave Buoy and Tide Gauge Network
Stormy conditions last year caused higher than expected AWOL wave buoys
Isles of Scilly wave buoy in the process of being deployed
Proposal for the next stage is to keep the network as it
No scientific justification to increase the number of wave buoys at present.

6. Wave Buoy and Tide Gauge Network
Proposal for the next stage is to keep the network as it
No scientific justification to increase the number of wave buoys at present.

7. Wave Buoy and Tide Gauge Network
Examples of projects the data is being used on are:
West Bay modelling
Managing coastal change – West Dorset, Weymouth and Portland Bill
Used to inform duty officers for flood warnings within the Environment Agency
Proposal for the next stage is to keep the network as it
No scientific justification to increase the number of wave buoys at present.

8. Wave Buoy and Tide Gauge Network
Other benefactors include:
Use by local fishermen to predict the sea state
Use by local leisure industries
Recreation users for example surfers
Proposal for the next stage is to keep the network as it
No scientific justification to increase the number of wave buoys at present.

9. Topographical Surveys
TSW 4
TSW 3
TSW 1
The area of coastline will be spilt up into 4 work packages let to consultants with one an additional survey package surveyed in house
The profile spacing will be variable from 50m to 500 meters and frequency will be on a risk basis Also from request form partners for additional survey work or post storm survey.
Availability of post storm surveys.
More detailed surveys will be carried out yearly on beach management sites

12. LiDAR Surveys
In light of lessons learnt with in phase one of the programme the LiDAR survey work has been split up into 3 work packages rather than one complete package to spread reasources
Problems with Tidal restrictions and weather- difficult to complete work in the available time
LiDAR surveys are planned through out the programme with surveys of high risk sites such as saltmarsh, dune, soft cliffs being flown on a yearly basis. It is expected that a full base line LiDAR survey will be flown in Year 3

13. LiDAR Surveys
Year 1 LiDAR surveys of high priority sites complete
Year 3 LiDAR surveys will cover complete coastline. Currently under way
Year 5 LiDAR surveys will be of high priority sites

Steart Peninsula managed realignment
River Bride at Freshwater cliff analysis
Taw Torridge Estuary study

15. Aerial Photography
The Area photography survey work has been split up into 4 work packages again from lesson learnt because of tight window of flight because of low cloud cover
It is expected that the areal photography will be flown in year 2 and 3. Fully othorectified images will be produced.

16. Aerial Photography Outstanding survey work completed
ASW 3 (Land’s End to Hartland Point)72 % complete. Isles of Scilly outstanding
ASW 4 (Hartland Point to Beachley) 68 % complete Weston Super to Beachley outstanding

18. Aerial Photography Examples of projects the data is being used on:
Steart Peninsula managed realignment
To be used on habitat mapping next year
Detailed habitat mapping carried out on Isles of Scilly
Cliff top mapping
Useful graphics for reports

19. Habitat Mapping Trial area to be completed this winter at Chesil Beach
Bulk of habitat mapping to be carried out next year
Habitat mapping will be carried out in year 4 of the programme based on 2012 Aerial Photography.
Only habitat mapping that is a statuary will be mapped in this phase.
Data avaible on web site as phase one – Emerlad going into improvement into web site later.

20. Data Use
