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. <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 orthophotography that was collected as part of the post-storm recovery survey. <br /></p></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></p>

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>
