West Bay: The engineers approach
		The sea defences, harbour and cliffs in and around West Bay have, for a number of years, been the subject of a major investigation by West Dorset District Council's Engineering Department. The objective is to identify and develop effective solutions for the long term management of the harbour and resort. The content of this section of the site is based on their work. The harbour, frontage and cliffs are exposed to the full force of the Atlantic which can lead to extensive damage to sea walls and property due to both the force of the sea and accompanying flooding Link to West Dorset District Council Site, Added Dec 2003 WestBayCoastal Defence Scheme Case Study for A level Geography Students Coastal defence and flood prevention at WestBay, Dorset.
