Coastal Change Information Tool

<p>Ulster University were commissioned in September 2023 to produce a Coastal
Change Information Tool that explained observed shoreline change dynamics for
the entire Northern Ireland coastline.<br />
<br />
This tool has created 142 individual data points. Each information point
contains the following detail:<br /></p>

<ul>
 <li>A
     written description of the historic patterns of shoreline change observed,
     drawing on the findings from the Northern Ireland Historical Shoreline
     Analysis project.</li>
 <li>An
     interpretation of the reasons for the long-term changes observed. This
     was be made in light of both local information and the expertise of coastal geomorphologists within Ulster University. This also incorporated findings
     from the geological dataset supplied by the GSNI (if appropriate).</li>
 <li>Identification
     of features of particular importance to shoreline dynamics (e.g.
     particular sand reserves, coastal engineering works). An explanation of
     how anthropogenic activity has impacted the shoreline was also provided for
     applicable areas.</li>
 <li>A
     statement of possible future shoreline behaviour.  </li>
</ul>

<p><br />
The Coastal Change Information Tool makes use of the findings from the Northern
Ireland Historical Shoreline Analysis Project, along with the additional
coastal datasets collected by DAERA to contextualise how the Northern Ireland
coastline is changing. This tool has created a digital asset that will be
useful for coastal decision-making regarding, for example, planning decisions,
infrastructure planning, and coastal adaptation. It also identifies sites that have been historically susceptible to coastal change and as such will help inform climate change
adaptation, ensuring more sustainable coastal management.</p>

September 2022 - North Coast Post-Storm Recovery Survey - Digital Terrain Model

<div style='text-align:Left; font-size:12pt;'><p>Fugro were commissioned to undertake a post storm LiDAR survey of the soft sedimentary areas along the north coast of Northern Ireland in March 2022. This survey was to cover the following areas: Curran Strand, Portrush East Strand, Portstewart Strand and Downhill Beach to Magilligan.</p><div style='text-align:Left; font-size:12pt;'><p>This project was commissioned following the successive storm events during February and March 2022 (Storm Dudley, Storm Eunice and Storm Franklin) which did considerable damage to the sandy beaches along the North Coast. The objective of this survey was to ascertain change which has occurred along these soft sediment coastlines at the north coast since the baseline survey, which was acquired in 2021.</p><div style='text-align:Left; font-size:12pt;'><p>Data was provided in the same format as the topographic LiDAR data collected in the Northern Ireland 3-Dimensional Coastal Survey to allow changes between these two datasets to be ascertained.</p><div style='text-align:Left; font-size:12pt;'><p>Later in the year Fugro were commissioned to undertake a second LiDAR survey of the north coast from White Rocks to Magilligan in September 2022. The aim of this repeat survey was to ascertain the levels of recovery along the soft sediment coastlines since March 2022.</p><div style='text-align:Left; font-size:12pt;'><p>As with the initial survey undertaken by Fugro this topographic LiDAR survey collected data from the intertidal area to 10m inland for the same soft sediment areas along the north coast, with data being acquired at 0.5m resolution. The survey was quite restrictive when it could be flown: it had to be 2 hours either side of Low Water, during clear conditions below 6000ft, sun had to be at a suitable angle to capture imagery and as photography was being captured the survey could only be flown during day light hours. </p><div style='text-align:Left; font-size:12pt;'><p>All data collected was to be directly comparable with the data collected in the initial post storm Survey undertaken, as this would help us to understand and accurately quantify how our soft, sedimentary coastlines respond and recover from extreme storm events.</p><div style='text-align:Left; font-size:12pt;'><p>This is the Digital Terrain Model that was collected as part of the post-storm recovery survey.<br /></p></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
