Bird Geostudies Pty Ltd., Black Rock Victoria 3193, Australia ABSTRACT _ BIRD, E. C. F., 1996. Lateral Grading of Beach Sediments: A Commentary. Journal of Coast«! Research. 12(3).774­ .tllllllll:. 785. Fort Lauderdale (Florida), ISSN 0749-0208. ~ ~. Lateral grading of beach sediments can he achieved by downdrift attrition and/or longshore drifting. Chesil Beach (England) is graded from small to large pebbles and cobbles south-eastward in the direction of increasing wave energy. 1't t't 1" Attrition is very slow, and grading seems to have been achieved by alternations of longshore drifting. with selection of coarser from finer particles by the stronger south-eastward movement. Wave energy gradients may have contributed by moving smaller particles westward, and by conserving the lateral gradation. Hawke Bay beach (New Zealand) is graded in the reverse direction. It is fed with sand and gravel by the' Mohaka River, near tho western end, and lateral grading has been attributed to downdrift attrition eastward. Longshore sorting has probably also contributed, and a method of separating att.rition from sorting is proposed. The two systems are compared as a basis for elucidat.ing the causes of lateral drifting, which can evidently develop in different ways.

  • S I D M O U T H
    S I D M O U T H Newsletter September 2017 Issue 48 From the Chairman I closed my piece in the last newsletter by wishing you a great summer unfortunately that has now passed and, according to the met office, we are now officially in Autumn! One of the "hot topics" for the last newsletter was the proposed takeover of the lease of St Francis Church Hall by the Sidmouth Town Band, this has been delayed with no further developments likely until December this year. I'm confident that many organisations, apart from the U3A, hope that the layout of the hall does not change regardless of who operates the lease. It is with some sadness that I've learnt of the passing of Joy Pollock, a founder member of Sidmouth U3A. Joy along with Madge White and June Newbould were the three ladies who met at the Sidmouth Sports Centre and decided to create a steering committee to set-up a U3A branch in Sidmouth. That small seed planted in October 1993 with 15 members has blossomed into our present branch with approaching 350 members. The original membership fee was £5 per head but interestingly the attendance charge for a monthly meeting was 50p the same as it is today! The U3A which Joy helped to start was very different to the organisation we have today, however, when Joy attended the anniversary lunch in 2014 she seemed to approve of the way the branch had developed. There will be those who remember Joy and mourn the passing of one our founder members.

  • Site Improvement Plan Sidmouth to West Bay
    Improvement Programme for England's Natura 2000 Sites (IPENS) Planning for the Future Site Improvement Plan Sidmouth to West Bay Site Improvement Plans (SIPs) have been developed for each Natura 2000 site in England as part of the Improvement Programme for England's Natura 2000 sites (IPENS). Natura 2000 sites is the combined term for sites designated as Special Areas of Conservation (SAC) and Special Protected Areas (SPA). This work has been financially supported by LIFE, a financial instrument of the European Community. The plan provides a high level overview of the issues (both current and predicted) affecting the condition of the Natura 2000 features on the site(s) and outlines the priority measures required to improve the condition of the features. It does not cover issues where remedial actions are already in place or ongoing management activities which are required for maintenance. The SIP consists of three parts: a Summary table, which sets out the priority Issues and Measures; a detailed Actions table, which sets out who needs to do what, when and how much it is estimated to cost; and a set of tables containing contextual information and links. Once this current programme ends, it is anticipated that Natural England and others, working with landowners and managers, will all play a role in delivering the priority measures to improve the condition of the features on these sites. The SIPs are based on Natural England's current evidence and knowledge. The SIPs are not legal documents, they are live documents that will be updated to reflect changes in our evidence/knowledge and as actions get underway.
