That is what this Management Plan is about and for; building upon the enthusiasm, expertise and commitment of a host of partners – organisations, communities and individuals – to deliver world class care of this World Heritage Site. When UNESCO granted World Heritage status to the Dorset and East Devon Coast in 2001 it recognised the global importance of the Site’s geology and geomorphology. In so doing, it confirmed what so many people had long known – that these 95 miles of coastline are rich in stories and a history of deep time, as well as being a place of enormous beauty, home to a wealth of wildlife, a thriving culture and vibrant coastal communities. This is a living landscape that reveals its secrets unceasingly from season to season and storm to storm. People love this place and it is our responsibility as the Steering Group to ensure that the Jurassic Coast is not only well cared for and protected when necessary, but also realises the full human potential that World Heritage status confers. This is a responsibility delegated to us by the UK Government who are ultimately responsible to UNESCO for its care. This is a Plan created by the Partners – the key agencies, landowners and all the others who have an interest in shaping the future of our coast – through discussion and negotiation. It is a practical Plan, where those responsible for its delivery are clearly identified. The strength of its delivery will be determined by the strength of this great partnership. The previous Plan (2009-2013) covered a period of deep change in the way publicly funded bodies and partnerships operate, and, inevitably, this trend will continue through this current Plan. This Plan recognises that we have much to build upon and many opportunities; it also recognises that there are challenges ahead. I am confident that we will rise to these challenges. As a newly appointed Chair to the Steering Group, I would like convey my thanks, and those of many others, to my predecessor, Don Gobbett. This Plan is a testament to his tireless leadership and foresight. I would also like to thank the Dorset and East Devon Coast World Heritage Site Steering Group for all the time and effort they have devoted to the development of the Management Plan, and on whose behalf I have the pleasure to sign off this document. This Plan was endorsed by the Dorset and East Devon Coast World Heritage Site Partnership Steering Group, on behalf of the Partnership, at its meeting of March 13th, 2014. I should like to thank the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Team for their input and their continuing enthusiasm in implementing many of the policies of successive Plans. Particular thanks are As of that date the Partnership comprised the following organisations and specialists: due to the Site Manager, Sam Rose, who has devoted so much time and energy to the creation of this current Plan.

The overriding purpose of the organisation is: “to contribute to peace and security by promoting collaboration among nations through education, science and culture in order “In regarding heritage as both cultural and natural, the Convention reminds us of the ways to further universal respect for justice, for the rule of law and for the human rights and in which people interact with nature, and of the fundamental need to preserve the balance fundamental freedoms which are affirmed for the peoples of the world, without distinction between the two.”3 of race, sex, language or religion”. 2 The Convention sets out the guidance for nomination and, once inscribed, management of One of UNESCO’s roles is with respect to the protection of natural and cultural heritage World Heritage Sites.

  • The Geology Durdle Door, Dorset Chalk Stratigraphy, Sedimentology and Tectonic Structure New Marker Beds
    Wessex OUGS Field Guide to Durdle Door, Dorset, May 2018 The Geology Durdle Door, Dorset Chalk stratigraphy, sedimentology and tectonic structure New marker beds Durdle Cove, Dorset looking west over Scratchy Bottom and Swyre Head to Bat’s Head. The line of caves at the foot of the cliff in Durdle Cove is formed on the Durdle Cove Thrust (see also Rowe 1901, Plate III, pp. 16-17). Open University Geological Society Wessex Group Field Excursion Sunday 13th May 2018 Leaders: Rory Mortimore and Jeremy Cranmer Field guide prepared by Rory Mortimore www.chalkrock.com Based on the paper Late Cretaceous stratigraphy, sediments and structure: gems of the Jurassic Coast of Devon and Dorset, England just going into press in the Proceedings of the Geologists’ Association, 2018. 1 Wessex OUGS Field Guide to Durdle Door, Dorset, May 2018 Wessex OUGS Field Trip Durdle Door, Durdle Cove, Scratchy Bottom and Bat’s Head Late Cretaceous stratigraphy, sediments and structure: gems of the Jurassic Coast of Devon and Dorset, England Introduction Extraordinary, long-distance litho-marker beds such as the Lewes and Shoreham Tubular Flints and associated marl seams and fossils (Fig.2), recognised in cliff exposures and cliff-fall boulders, are keys to unlocking the stratigraphy and tectonic structures in the Late Cretaceous (Fig.1) of the Jurassic Heritage Coast. Durdle Cove is a special gem exposing the Lewes and Seaford Chalk stratigraphy where these and new marker beds are identified and where sediments and tectonic structures provide clues to timing of movements that produced a Late Cretaceous pericline which grew into a Miocene monocline along the line of the underlying Purbeck Reverse Fault.
